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).
Based on validated Our World in Data statistics, Hungary's grapes production per capita declined from 48.01 kilograms in 2015 to 39.15 kilograms in 2024, showing a gradual downward trend despite the country's long-standing grape-growing heritage and established wine industry. The fluctuations during the period highlight the impact of weather conditions, production efficiency, and vineyard adaptation strategies.
Production increased slightly from 48.01 kilograms in 2015 to 48.57 kilograms in 2016 and reached 54.12 kilograms in 2017. Growth continued in 2018, when production peaked at 54.54 kilograms per capita, supported by favorable growing conditions, strong harvest performance, and improved vineyard productivity. Hungary's major grape-growing regions, including Tokaj, Villány, Eger, and Balaton, continued to contribute to production through established cultivation methods, improved vineyard management, and investments in sustainable agricultural practices.
However, production declined to 46.80 kilograms in 2019 and further decreased to 44.62 kilograms in 2020 due to changing climatic conditions, harvest fluctuations, and operational challenges affecting vineyards. Production remained relatively stable in 2021, recording 45.09 kilograms, before declining gradually to 42.81 kilograms in 2022 and 42.43 kilograms in 2023. These reductions were influenced by weather variability, rising production costs, and challenges in maintaining consistent grape yields.
By 2024, Hungary's grapes production per capita declined further to 39.15 kilograms, reflecting continued adjustments within the vineyard sector. Overall, Hungary's grapes production trends demonstrate the resilience of its mature viticulture industry while highlighting the importance of climate adaptation, technological improvements, and sustainable farming practices. The dataset provides valuable insights into vineyard productivity, agricultural efficiency, and the long-term competitiveness of Hungary's grape production sector.
