France Wool Production per Capita

Wool Production per Capita — Wool production per capita refers to the annual quantity of wool produced within a country divided by its population, providing a population-adjusted measure of wool production. The indicator is presented in Our World in Data as a country-level time series, allowing comparisons of wool production per person across countries and years. The selected dataset covers the period from 2015 to 2024.

The indicator was recorded at 1 unit per person in 2015 before increasing sharply to 217.58 units per person in 2016. It then rose further to 218.60 units per person in 2017 and reached 218.74 units per person in 2018. The 2018 figure represents the highest reported level among the available observations. The increase from 217.58 in 2016 to 218.74 in 2018 was relatively modest compared with the initial rise recorded between 2015 and 2016.

The available figures therefore indicate a sharp change at the beginning of the reported period, followed by comparatively limited movement during 2016–2018. France’s wool production per capita remained close to 219 units per person in the final two years of the supplied data, suggesting relative stability during that portion of the period. The limited annual variation after 2016 indicates that population-adjusted production remained broadly consistent over the available later observations.

This indicator allows wool production to be assessed independently of population size and can be used to compare France with other European agricultural markets. It provides useful context for understanding population-adjusted wool output and changes in the country’s agricultural production profile. The supplied dataset does not include values for 2019–2024, however, so a complete assessment of the ten-year trend requires the missing annual observations. The available data nevertheless show a pronounced increase followed by stabilization, providing a useful basis for evaluating France’s reported wool production performance.
