Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Sugarcane Production per Capita — Sugarcane production per capita refers to the annual quantity of sugarcane produced by a country divided by its total population, measured on a per-person basis. The indicator represents the level of sugarcane production relative to population size and helps evaluate agricultural productivity, production capacity, and the importance of sugarcane cultivation within different economies. The dataset presents country-level sugarcane production per capita values for each year in the selected period, allowing comparison of production trends and changes over time.
The data includes the total agricultural production of sugarcane reported for each country and converted into a per capita measure using population estimates. It covers sugarcane cultivated and harvested for agricultural production, including output used for sugar manufacturing, ethanol production, industrial processing, and other agricultural applications. The indicator includes annual production variations influenced by factors such as cultivated area, crop yields, climatic conditions, farming practices, and agricultural policies. The dataset is compiled from agricultural production statistics and population data sources to provide comparable country-level measurements.
The data excludes sugarcane consumption, trade flows, imports, exports, sugar production, ethanol output, and processed sugar products. It does not measure productivity per hectare, farm-level efficiency, economic value, or revenue generated from sugarcane production. The indicator does not capture differences in cultivation methods, production costs, quality variations, or environmental impacts associated with sugarcane farming. It also excludes non-agricultural activities and does not represent total availability or consumption of sugarcane-derived products within a country.
About this indicator
Sugarcane Production per Capita — Sugarcane production per capita refers to the annual quantity of sugarcane produced by a country divided by its total population, measured on a per-person basis. The indicator represents the level of sugarcane production relative to population size and helps evaluate agricultural productivity, production capacity, and the importance of sugarcane cultivation within different economies. The dataset presents country-level sugarcane production per capita values for each year in the selected period, allowing comparison of production trends and changes over time.
Sugarcane remains a significant industrial crop in Indonesia, supporting sugar manufacturing, rural employment, and agricultural value chains, particularly in major producing regions such as East Java, Central Java, and Lampung. According to the dataset, Indonesia’s sugarcane production per capita increased from 103.13 units in 2015 to 112.88 units in 2024, indicating moderate growth over the observed period.
During the initial years from 2015 to 2017, production remained relatively consistent, increasing from 103.13 units in 2015 to 105.81 units in 2016 before slightly declining to 104.73 units in 2017. This stability reflected steady cultivation practices, balanced production conditions, and continued demand from domestic sugar industries. A moderate improvement occurred in 2018, when production per capita reached 109.28 units, followed by a slight decline to 106.79 units in 2019 due to variations in crop performance, weather conditions, and agricultural productivity.
In 2020, production remained almost stable at 106.62 units despite challenges affecting agricultural activities. Stronger growth was observed in 2021 and 2022, when sugarcane production per capita increased to 116.35 units and 116.20 units respectively, representing the highest levels recorded during the period. This improvement was supported by better harvest performance, increased production efficiency, and continued efforts to strengthen domestic sugar production.
In recent years, production moderated slightly, declining to 110.25 units in 2023 before recovering to 112.88 units in 2024. Overall, Indonesia’s sugarcane production per capita demonstrates a stable agricultural performance with gradual improvement over the decade. The indicator highlights the importance of sugarcane in supporting food processing industries, rural economies, and domestic sugar supply. It is valuable for evaluating production trends, agricultural sustainability, resource utilization, and the future development of Indonesia’s sugar sector.
