Falling to a series low
Israel Wool Production per Capita moved from 139.3 Gram in 2015 to 129.9 Gram in 2024 (−6.7%), an average of −0.8% a year. The series high was 139.3 Gram in 2015 and the low 129.9 Gram in 2024.
What Israel Wool Production per Capita shows
Israel Wool Production per Capita was 129.9 Gram in 2024, down 0.3% on 2023. Israel’s wool production per capita indicator measures domestic wool production relative to the country’s population, providing a population-adjusted measure of agricultural output. Between 2015 and 2024, Israel recorded an overall declining trend in wool production per capita, with the indicator decreasing gradually from its highest reported level in the earlier part of the period.
A 6.7% peak-to-trough swing
The gap between the series high (2015) and low (2024) is 9.37 Gram. The sharpest single-year move was −2.6% in 2023.
Ranks 10 of 19 countries covered
Among the 19 countries in this dataset, Israel ranks 10 for 2024, behind New Zealand (25,011 Gram) and Uruguay (6,794 Gram). The global figure for 2024 is 207.8 Gram, so Israel is below it.

Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Wool Production per Capita — Wool production per capita refers to the annual quantity of wool produced within a country divided by its population, providing a population-adjusted measure of wool production. The indicator is presented in Our World in Data as a country-level time series, allowing comparisons of wool production per person across countries and years. The selected dataset covers the period from 2015 to 2024.
The data includes wool production and population figures used to calculate wool production per capita for individual countries. The indicator covers wool classified as an agricultural product and reflects domestic production relative to the population of each country. The dataset includes annual observations for the selected countries and period and can be used to compare population-adjusted wool output across different geographic regions.
The data excludes wool imports, exports, trade values, prices, revenues, and domestic consumption. It does not measure the value of wool production or distinguish between wool produced for different end uses. The indicator also does not directly measure sheep populations, wool yields per animal, processing activity, or downstream textile production. Differences in production per capita may reflect changes in wool output, population, or both.
About this indicator
Wool Production per Capita — Wool production per capita refers to the annual quantity of wool produced within a country divided by its population, providing a population-adjusted measure of wool production. The indicator is presented in Our World in Data as a country-level time series, allowing comparisons of wool production per person across countries and years. The selected dataset covers the period from 2015 to 2024.
The indicator stood at 139.27 units per person in 2015 and declined to 138.14 in 2016 and 137.25 in 2017. The downward movement continued in 2018, when production per capita reached 136.45 units per person. It then decreased to 135.89 in 2019 and 135.49 in 2020, representing a continued but relatively gradual reduction.
A small recovery occurred in 2021, when the indicator increased to 135.79 units per person. However, this improvement was temporary. Production per capita subsequently declined to 133.77 units per person in 2022, 130.31 in 2023, and 129.90 in 2024. The final supplied figure therefore remained below the levels recorded at the beginning of the period.
From 139.27 units per person in 2015 to 129.90 in 2024, Israel’s wool production per capita declined by approximately 6.7%. Although the overall reduction was moderate, the data show a consistent downward movement with only one notable temporary recovery in 2021.
The indicator provides a useful basis for evaluating wool production independently of population size. Israel’s data indicate a gradual reduction in population-adjusted wool output over the period, supporting comparisons with other agricultural markets. The relatively limited year-to-year variation suggests that changes occurred progressively rather than through major annual fluctuations. Overall, the figures indicate a moderate weakening in Israel’s wool production per capita during the reported period.
