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, Germany's grapes production per capita fluctuated during the period, declining from 14.61 kilograms in 2015 to 12.53 kilograms in 2024. The overall trend indicates moderate volatility rather than a continuous decline, with production levels affected by seasonal weather conditions, vineyard productivity, and changing harvest performance across wine-growing regions.
Between 2015 and 2017, Germany's grapes production per capita declined from 14.61 kilograms in 2015 to 14.81 kilograms 2016 before falling to 12.20 kilograms in 2017. These fluctuations were primarily influenced by variations in temperature, rainfall patterns, and annual grape harvest volumes. Germany's established wine-producing regions, including Rhineland-Palatinate, Baden-Württemberg, and Mosel, continued to maintain strong vineyard operations through advanced cultivation methods, precision farming techniques, and efficient vineyard management.
Production recovered significantly in 2018, reaching 16.84 kilograms per capita, the highest level during the observed period. This improvement reflected favorable growing conditions, stronger harvest yields, and improved vineyard productivity. However, production declined again to 13.46 kilograms in 2019 and remained relatively stable at 13.75 kilograms in 2020 and 13.76 kilograms in 2021. These changes were influenced by weather uncertainty, including drought conditions, temperature fluctuations, and challenges maintaining consistent grape yields.
In 2022, production increased slightly to 14.55 kilograms before declining to 13.89 kilograms in 2023 and 12.53 kilograms in 2024. Recent reductions were linked to changing climatic conditions, rising production costs, and adjustments in vineyard management strategies aimed at improving long-term sustainability.
Overall, Germany's grapes production trends highlight the resilience of a highly developed viticulture industry. The dataset provides valuable insights into vineyard productivity, agricultural efficiency, climate adaptation, and the future outlook of Germany's grape production sector amid changing environmental and market conditions.
