Honduras Palm Oil Production per Capita

Palm Oil Production per Capita — Palm oil production per capita refers to the annual quantity of palm oil produced by a country relative to its population, measured in kilograms or grams per person. This indicator represents the average palm oil production contribution per individual and helps assess production intensity, agricultural productivity, and the relative importance of palm oil cultivation within a country's agriculture sector. In Our World in Data, the indicator is presented as a country-level time series, with values reported annually for the selected period. The data is based on global food production statistics and provides comparable production measurements across countries and years. Inclusions: The data includes annual palm oil production volumes adjusted according to population size for each country, covering the production of palm oil from agricultural activities during the selected period. It includes country-level production estimates reported on a per capita basis and captures changes resulting from variations in cultivation, plantation output, agricultural productivity, and population growth. The indicator covers palm oil production trends from 2015 to 2023, enabling comparisons of production performance across regions and countries. The dataset includes values expressed in kilograms or grams per capita depending on the reporting unit and provides historical production trends for agricultural analysis. Exclusions: The data excludes palm oil consumption, imports, exports, processing volumes, and market demand indicators. It does not represent individual consumption levels or availability of palm oil within a country. The indicator does not measure plantation area, yield per hectare, production costs, or economic value generated from palm oil production. It also excludes other vegetable oils and agricultural commodities that are not classified as palm oil. Differences between countries may occur due to variations in agricultural practices, climatic conditions, production systems, and population sizes. The indicator focuses only on production output relative to population and does not capture broader environmental, social, or trade-related impacts associated with palm oil production.

Production declined slightly to 66.87 kilograms in 2018 but recovered to 71.10 kilograms in 2019, indicating resilient production capacity. In 2020, output eased marginally to 69.17 kilograms, followed by a gradual decline to 63.17 kilograms in 2021, 61.64 kilograms in 2022, and 61.53 kilograms in 2023. Despite these decreases during the latter part of the study period, production remained consistently above the 2015 level, highlighting the country's sustained palm oil production capability. The overall trend suggests that Honduras maintained a well-established palm oil industry, supported by stable cultivation and production practices despite normal year-to-year variations. Measuring production on a per capita basis provides a standardized assessment of agricultural output relative to population, allowing meaningful comparisons across years and with other palm oil-producing countries. The dataset offers valuable insights into long-term production performance and serves as an important indicator of agricultural productivity within Honduras. It can support policymakers, agricultural researchers, industry participants, and market analysts in evaluating production trends, monitoring sector performance, and identifying changes in output over time. Covering the period from 2015 to 2023, the data provides a reliable benchmark for understanding the development of Honduras' palm oil sector and contributes to broader analyses of agricultural production, productivity, and resource utilization within the country's agriculture industry.
