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).
According to validated Our World in Data statistics, Italy's grapes production per capita remained relatively stable overall, changing from 130.66 kilograms in 2015 to 128.70 kilograms in 2024 after experiencing fluctuations throughout the decade. The trend highlights the resilience of Italy's grape sector, supported by advanced farming systems, diverse wine-growing regions, and strong vineyard productivity.
Production increased to 135.62 kilograms in 2016 before declining to 118.72 kilograms in 2017 due to variations in weather conditions, harvest performance, and regional vineyard output. Italy's major grape-producing regions, including Veneto, Tuscany, Piedmont, and Sicily, continued to maintain strong production capacity through modern cultivation techniques, efficient vineyard management, and sustainable farming practices.
Production recovered strongly in 2018, reaching 141.24 kilograms per capita, followed by 131.38 kilograms in 2019. Output remained stable during 2020 and 2021, recording 137.24 kilograms and 136.44 kilograms, respectively, supported by consistent vineyard operations and improved production efficiency. Grapes production reached its highest level of 141.53 kilograms in 2022, reflecting favorable harvest conditions and strong agricultural performance. However, production declined to 112.08 kilograms in 2023 due to adverse weather conditions, rising input costs, and regional production challenges.
In 2024, production recovered to 128.70 kilograms, indicating gradual stabilization. Overall, Italy's grapes production trends demonstrate the strength and adaptability of its mature viticulture industry. The dataset provides valuable insights into vineyard productivity, climate impacts, agricultural efficiency, and the long-term competitiveness of Italy's grape production sector.
