Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Mushroom Production per Capita — Mushroom production per capita refers to the annual quantity of mushrooms produced within a country, measured on a per person basis. The indicator is expressed in grams per capita (or kilograms per capita where applicable) and represents the average mushroom production volume relative to the country’s population size. In Our World in Data, the indicator is based on FAOSTAT agricultural production data and is presented as a country-level time series, allowing comparison of mushroom production trends across countries and years between 2015 and 2024.
The data includes the annual production of mushrooms reported under FAOSTAT agricultural production statistics, covering cultivated mushroom output measured by weight. The indicator includes country-level mushroom production values adjusted according to population size to calculate per capita production. The dataset captures changes in agricultural production capacity, cultivation practices, and output trends over time. It supports analysis of mushroom industry development, agricultural productivity, food supply trends, and comparisons between different countries and regions.
The data excludes mushroom consumption, imports, exports, and trade-related activities, as it measures only domestic production. It does not represent individual consumption levels, market availability, retail sales, or nutritional intake. The indicator does not include wild mushroom collection unless recorded within official agricultural production statistics. It also does not measure production value, revenue, cultivation costs, or farm-level productivity. Differences may occur due to variations in national reporting methods, estimation procedures, and statistical coverage used by FAOSTAT.
About this indicator
Mushroom Production per Capita — Mushroom production per capita refers to the annual quantity of mushrooms produced within a country, measured on a per person basis. The indicator is expressed in grams per capita (or kilograms per capita where applicable) and represents the average mushroom production volume relative to the country’s population size. In Our World in Data, the indicator is based on FAOSTAT agricultural production data and is presented as a country-level time series, allowing comparison of mushroom production trends across countries and years between 2015 and 2024.
According to validated Our World in Data (FAOSTAT) data, France’s mushroom production per capita decreased slightly from 1.56 kilograms in 2015 to 1.50 kilograms in 2024. Despite fluctuations during the period, France maintained a strong position within Europe’s mushroom production landscape due to established cultivation practices, advanced farming systems, and consistent consumer demand.
Between 2015 and 2018, production showed a declining trend, decreasing from 1.56 kilograms in 2015 to 1.27 kilograms in 2018. This period reflected adjustments in production capacity, changing market conditions, and operational challenges faced by mushroom growers. However, France’s long-established mushroom industry, supported by commercial cultivation facilities and developed agricultural infrastructure, helped maintain stable production levels.
From 2019 to 2021, mushroom production per capita experienced significant growth, increasing from 1.33 kilograms in 2019 to 2.01 kilograms in 2020 before slightly declining to 1.87 kilograms in 2021. The increase during this period reflected improved production performance, increased demand for fresh food products, and adaptations within the agricultural sector during changing market conditions. Efficient cultivation techniques and controlled production environments supported output growth.
Between 2022 and 2024, production moderated, declining to 1.54 kilograms in 2022, 1.42 kilograms in 2023, and recovering slightly to 1.50 kilograms in 2024. These changes reflected market adjustments, production cost pressures, and evolving supply conditions within the mushroom industry.
Overall, France’s mushroom production sector remains an important component of its agricultural economy. The mushroom production per capita indicator provides valuable insights into production trends, agricultural productivity, market fluctuations, and future opportunities for sustainable mushroom cultivation in France.
