Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Mushroom Production per Capita — Mushroom production per capita refers to the annual quantity of mushrooms produced within a country, measured on a per person basis. The indicator is expressed in grams per capita (or kilograms per capita where applicable) and represents the average mushroom production volume relative to the country’s population size. In Our World in Data, the indicator is based on FAOSTAT agricultural production data and is presented as a country-level time series, allowing comparison of mushroom production trends across countries and years between 2015 and 2024.
The data includes the annual production of mushrooms reported under FAOSTAT agricultural production statistics, covering cultivated mushroom output measured by weight. The indicator includes country-level mushroom production values adjusted according to population size to calculate per capita production. The dataset captures changes in agricultural production capacity, cultivation practices, and output trends over time. It supports analysis of mushroom industry development, agricultural productivity, food supply trends, and comparisons between different countries and regions.
The data excludes mushroom consumption, imports, exports, and trade-related activities, as it measures only domestic production. It does not represent individual consumption levels, market availability, retail sales, or nutritional intake. The indicator does not include wild mushroom collection unless recorded within official agricultural production statistics. It also does not measure production value, revenue, cultivation costs, or farm-level productivity. Differences may occur due to variations in national reporting methods, estimation procedures, and statistical coverage used by FAOSTAT.
About this indicator
Mushroom Production per Capita — Mushroom production per capita refers to the annual quantity of mushrooms produced within a country, measured on a per person basis. The indicator is expressed in grams per capita (or kilograms per capita where applicable) and represents the average mushroom production volume relative to the country’s population size. In Our World in Data, the indicator is based on FAOSTAT agricultural production data and is presented as a country-level time series, allowing comparison of mushroom production trends across countries and years between 2015 and 2024.
In 2015, Israel recorded mushroom production of 1.37 kg per capita, which slightly declined to 1.34 kg per capita in 2016 and 1.32 kg per capita in 2017, representing the lowest production levels during the observed period.
From 2018 onwards, Israel’s mushroom production per capita entered a steady growth phase. Production increased to 1.41 kg per capita in 2018, followed by 1.44 kg per capita in 2019 and 1.48 kg per capita in 2020. This gradual increase indicates improvements in mushroom farming practices and stable development of the cultivation sector.
Between 2021 and 2024, production continued to rise consistently. Israel recorded 1.57 kg per capita in 2021, increasing to 1.65 kg per capita in 2022. The upward trend continued with 1.73 kg per capita in 2023 and reached 1.81 kg per capita in 2024, the highest value recorded during the decade.
Overall, Israel’s mushroom production per capita increased by approximately 32% between 2015 and 2024, highlighting steady sector growth. The consistent improvement reflects advancements in controlled-environment agriculture, efficient production methods, and increasing specialization in mushroom cultivation. The trend suggests a resilient mushroom industry with continued potential for sustainable growth within Israel’s agricultural sector.
