Lower over the period
Japan Grapes Production per Capita moved from 1.42 Kilogram in 2015 to 1.33 Kilogram in 2024 (−6.2%), an average of −0.7% a year. The series high was 1.42 Kilogram in 2015 and the low 1.29 Kilogram in 2020.
What Japan Grapes Production per Capita shows
Japan Grapes Production per Capita was 1.33 Kilogram in 2024, down 0.9% on 2023. Japan's grapes production per capita between 2015 and 2024 reflects a mature and specialized viticulture sector influenced by limited agricultural land availability, changing consumer preferences, climate conditions, and advanced cultivation practices.
A 8.8% peak-to-trough swing
The gap between the series high (2015) and low (2020) is 0.124 Kilogram. The sharpest single-year move was −5.1% in 2020.
Ranks 32 of 40 countries covered
Among the 40 countries in this dataset, Japan ranks 32 for 2024, behind Moldova (130.6 Kilogram) and Italy (128.7 Kilogram). The global figure for 2024 is 9.30 Kilogram, so Japan is below it.

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).
Based on validated Our World in Data statistics, Japan's grapes production per capita declined slightly from 1.42 kilograms in 2015 to 1.33 kilograms in 2024, indicating a relatively stable but gradually moderating production trend. Despite the decline, Japan maintains a high-value grape industry focused on premium varieties, quality production, and advanced vineyard management.
Production decreased gradually from 1.42 kilograms in 2015 to 1.41 kilograms in 2016, 1.39 kilograms in 2017, and 1.38 kilograms in 2018. This trend reflected challenges such as limited vineyard expansion opportunities, aging agricultural workforce, and fluctuations in harvest conditions. However, Japanese grape growers continued to maintain productivity through precision farming, controlled cultivation methods, advanced breeding techniques, and efficient vineyard management practices.
Production continued declining to 1.36 kilograms in 2019 and 1.29 kilograms in 2020, the lowest level during the observed period. These reductions were influenced by weather variability, changing agricultural conditions, and production adjustments within the vineyard sector. A slight recovery occurred in 2021, with production increasing to 1.31 kilograms, followed by 1.30 kilograms in 2022 and 1.34 kilograms in 2023, reflecting improved production stability.
By 2024, Japan's grapes production per capita stood at 1.33 kilograms, showing a relatively stable position despite long-term structural challenges. Overall, Japan's grapes production trends highlight the resilience of a premium-oriented viticulture industry focused on quality rather than large-scale output. The dataset provides valuable insights into vineyard productivity, agricultural efficiency, climate adaptation, and the role of technology and innovation in maintaining Japan's grape production competitiveness.
