Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Linseed Oil Production per Capita — Linseed Oil Production per Capita refers to the annual quantity of linseed oil produced in a country divided by its total population, expressed in grams per person. In the Our World in Data database, this indicator is derived from food production statistics and presents the amount of linseed oil produced on a per capita basis for each country over the selected time period, enabling comparisons of production intensity across countries and years.
The data includes domestic production of linseed oil intended for food use, calculated on a per capita basis using national production volumes and population estimates. It covers annual country-level production data reported in the Our World in Data food dataset (primarily sourced from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization - FAO) and includes historical values for the selected years, allowing analysis of production trends and cross-country comparisons.
The data excludes imports, exports, domestic consumption, stocks, industrial or non-food uses, trade flows, prices, production value, and processing activities. It does not measure total flaxseed production, cultivation area, crop yield, or the economic value of linseed oil production. The indicator reflects only annual domestic linseed oil production per capita and may be subject to revisions based on updates to the underlying FAO and population datasets.
About this indicator
Linseed Oil Production per Capita — Linseed Oil Production per Capita refers to the annual quantity of linseed oil produced in a country divided by its total population, expressed in grams per person. In the Our World in Data database, this indicator is derived from food production statistics and presents the amount of linseed oil produced on a per capita basis for each country over the selected time period, enabling comparisons of production intensity across countries and years.
This indicator measures annual linseed oil production per person, helping evaluate production intensity, historical trends, and the role of linseed-based products within Mexico’s food and agricultural sector.
During the period from 2015 to 2023, Mexico’s linseed oil production per capita reflected variations influenced by factors such as agricultural conditions, crop availability, cultivation practices, processing capabilities, and market demand. Changes in production levels indicate shifts in domestic output and the efficiency of linseed oil generation compared with population growth trends.
This dataset supports analysis of Mexico’s agricultural production landscape, vegetable oil supply patterns, and the contribution of oilseed crops to the broader food and beverage industry. It provides useful information for researchers, policymakers, businesses, and agricultural stakeholders studying production performance, resource utilization, and market development.
The Mexico linseed oil production per capita indicator enables evaluation of annual production changes, long-term output trends, and agricultural productivity. By analyzing data between 2015 and 2023, stakeholders can better understand fluctuations in linseed oil production, the influence of agricultural factors, and the evolving position of linseed oil within Mexico’s agricultural economy.
This macro indicator serves as a reference for examining Mexico’s linseed oil production trends, per capita output changes, and oilseed sector performance. It supports data-driven decision-making related to agricultural planning, food industry analysis, supply chain assessment, and comparative studies with other global linseed oil-producing countries.
The data also provides insights into Mexico’s position within the global linseed oil landscape by highlighting production variations, agricultural resource management, and potential growth opportunities. It helps identify historical patterns and supports future evaluations of oilseed production trends and market developments.
