Lower over the period
Indonesia Soybean Production per Capita moved from 3.68 Kilogram in 2015 to 0.802 Kilogram in 2024 (−78.2%), an average of −15.6% a year. The series high was 3.68 Kilogram in 2015 and the low 0.782 Kilogram in 2021.
What Indonesia Soybean Production per Capita shows
Indonesia Soybean Production per Capita was 0.802 Kilogram in 2024, down 30.9% on 2023. Indonesia’s soybean production per capita between 2015 and 2024 demonstrates a significant long-term decline, reflecting reduced domestic soybean output relative to population growth and changing agricultural production conditions. Soybeans are an important agricultural commodity in Indonesia, supporting traditional food products, food processing, livestock feed, and plant-based protein industries.
A 78.7% peak-to-trough swing
The gap between the series high (2015) and low (2021) is 2.90 Kilogram. The sharpest single-year move was +75.3% in 2018.
Ranks 18 of 24 countries covered
Among the 24 countries in this dataset, Indonesia ranks 18 for 2024, behind Argentina (1,055 Kilogram) and Brazil (681.5 Kilogram). The global figure for 2024 is 48.72 Kilogram, so Indonesia is below it.

Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Soybean Production per Capita — Soybean production per capita refers to the annual production of soybeans divided by the total population of a country or region, measured in grams per person. The indicator represents the average amount of soybean output available per individual based on domestic agricultural production during a specific year. In Our World in Data, the indicator is presented as a country-level time series, allowing comparisons of soybean production performance across different countries and periods. The dataset is compiled from agricultural production statistics and population data to calculate per capita production values.
The data includes the total production of soybeans from agricultural activities, expressed on a per capita basis by dividing production volumes by the corresponding population figures. It covers soybean output used for various purposes, including food products, animal feed, vegetable oil production, and industrial applications. The indicator includes annual production trends across countries and regions, enabling analysis of changes in cultivation, productivity, and agricultural output relative to population size. The dataset supports comparisons of soybean production capacity, regional agricultural performance, and long-term production trends.
The data excludes soybean imports, exports, consumption, processing volumes, and stock levels. It does not measure individual dietary availability, market supply, or actual soybean usage within a country. The indicator does not account for differences in farming practices, production costs, land use efficiency, or trade dependency. It also does not represent nutritional intake or food security conditions, as it only reflects domestic soybean production relative to population size. Variations may occur due to differences in agricultural reporting methods, estimation procedures, and data availability across countries.
About this indicator
Soybean Production per Capita — Soybean production per capita refers to the annual production of soybeans divided by the total population of a country or region, measured in grams per person. The indicator represents the average amount of soybean output available per individual based on domestic agricultural production during a specific year. In Our World in Data, the indicator is presented as a country-level time series, allowing comparisons of soybean production performance across different countries and periods. The dataset is compiled from agricultural production statistics and population data to calculate per capita production values.
Based on the available data, soybean production per capita declined substantially from 3,679.09 grams in 2015 to 802.03 grams in 2024, indicating a major reduction in domestic production capacity despite intermittent periods of recovery.
Production per capita declined from 3,679.09 grams in 2015 to 3,248.54 grams in 2016 and fell sharply to 2,015.10 grams in 2017. A temporary recovery occurred in 2018, when the indicator increased to 3,532.37 grams, suggesting improved production performance or favourable cultivation conditions. However, this recovery was not sustained, as soybean production per capita declined significantly to 1,556.02 grams in 2019.
The downward trend continued in 2020, when production fell to 1,058.89 grams, followed by a further decline to 781.96 grams in 2021. These reductions may have been influenced by changes in cultivated area, lower crop productivity, competition from other crops, weather-related challenges, and shifts in agricultural resources. Production recovered moderately to 1,083.10 grams in 2022 and increased further to 1,161.11 grams in 2023, indicating temporary improvement in domestic output.
In 2024, soybean production per capita declined again to 802.03 grams. Although the latest value remained slightly above the 2021 low, it was approximately 78% lower than the 2015 level, highlighting the scale of the long-term decline.
Overall, the dataset highlights the changing structure and continued challenges of Indonesia’s soybean sector. It is valuable for analysing agricultural trends, monitoring per capita output, assessing domestic production performance, supporting market forecasting, and evaluating the influence of productivity, cultivation patterns, population growth, and agricultural resource allocation on soybean production.
