Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Grapes Production per Capita — Grapes production per capita refers to the annual production of grapes allocated on a per-person basis, measured in kilograms per person. The indicator represents the average amount of grapes produced within a country relative to its population size during a given year. In Our World in Data, the metric is presented as country-level production data over time, allowing comparison of grape production intensity across countries and years. The data is derived from global food and agriculture statistics compiled from sources such as the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
The data includes the total production of grapes from agricultural activities within each country, converted into a per capita measure using the corresponding population estimates. It covers grapes produced for all major uses, including fresh consumption, processing into wine, juice, raisins, and other grape-based products, as classified under agricultural production statistics. The indicator includes annual production values reported for each country and year, adjusted by population to enable cross-country comparison.
The data excludes grape imports, exports, domestic consumption levels, and trade-related activities. It does not represent the amount of grapes available for consumers, as production may be used for processing, storage, animal feed, losses, or industrial purposes. The indicator also excludes production of other fruits and crops outside grapes and does not measure yield efficiency, cultivated area, farmer income, or market value. Differences may occur due to estimation methods, reporting gaps, or revisions in agricultural and population statistics.
About this indicator
Grapes Production per Capita — Grapes production per capita refers to the annual production of grapes allocated on a per-person basis, measured in kilograms per person. The indicator represents the average amount of grapes produced within a country relative to its population size during a given year. In Our World in Data, the metric is presented as country-level production data over time, allowing comparison of grape production intensity across countries and years. The data is derived from global food and agriculture statistics compiled from sources such as the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
According to validated Our World in Data statistics, grapes production per capita in France declined from 96.41 kilograms in 2015 to 71.34 kilograms in 2024, indicating a gradual reduction despite France remaining one of the world's leading grape-producing countries.
Production decreased from 96.41 kilograms in 2015 to 92.61 kilograms in 2016 and 76.76 kilograms in 2017, mainly due to variations in weather conditions, vineyard yields, and regional harvest performance. Major wine-producing regions such as Bordeaux, Champagne, Burgundy, and Languedoc-Roussillon continued to maintain strong production capacity through advanced cultivation methods, vineyard expertise, and modern farming practices.
Production recovered to 95.66 kilograms in 2018 due to improved harvest conditions before declining to 83.52 kilograms in 2019. It increased again to 88.88 kilograms in 2020, supported by improved vineyard performance and favorable seasonal conditions. However, production fell to 76.78 kilograms in 2021 due to severe frost events and unfavorable weather impacts across several growing regions.
France experienced a recovery in production during 2022 and 2023, reaching 93.55 kilograms and 93.40 kilograms per capita, respectively. However, output declined significantly to 71.34 kilograms in 2024 due to climate-related challenges, disease risks, rising production costs, and ongoing vineyard adjustments focused on sustainability.
Overall, France's grapes production trends highlight the resilience of its mature viticulture sector. The data provides valuable insights into vineyard productivity, production forecasting, climate adaptation, and the impact of sustainable agricultural practices on France's long-term grape industry competitiveness.
