Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Oats Production per Capita — Oats Production Per Capita refers to the annual production of oats divided by the total population of a country, measured in kilograms or grams per person per year. The indicator represents the average amount of oats produced for each individual based on total agricultural production and population size. In Our World in Data, the indicator is presented as a country-level time series, with values reported annually for the selected period. The data provides insights into oat production performance, agricultural productivity, and changes in production capacity relative to population growth.
The data includes the total agricultural production of oats, covering oat crops harvested for food, feed, and other agricultural uses as reported in global food and agriculture datasets. The indicator incorporates annual oat production volumes and population estimates to calculate per capita production values. Our World in Data compiles the data from internationally recognised agricultural statistics sources, including the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and provides comparable country-level figures across different regions and time periods.
The data excludes oat consumption, imports, exports, processing activities, and market demand. It does not measure individual dietary intake, availability of oats for consumers, or actual domestic supply after trade adjustments. The indicator also does not represent productivity per hectare, farm-level efficiency, or quality differences in oat production. Variations may occur due to differences in agricultural reporting methods, estimation procedures, and population data sources used for calculating per capita values.
About this indicator
Oats Production per Capita — Oats Production Per Capita refers to the annual production of oats divided by the total population of a country, measured in kilograms or grams per person per year. The indicator represents the average amount of oats produced for each individual based on total agricultural production and population size. In Our World in Data, the indicator is presented as a country-level time series, with values reported annually for the selected period. The data provides insights into oat production performance, agricultural productivity, and changes in production capacity relative to population growth.
The indicator provides insight into Mexico’s oat production performance relative to population size and helps evaluate changes in agricultural productivity, crop availability, and production efficiency.
During the early years, oats production per capita decreased from 700.32 grams in 2015 to 582.02 grams in 2016 before remaining stable at 584.21 grams in 2017. Production increased significantly in 2018, reaching 797.16 grams per capita, followed by a further rise to 800.49 grams in 2019, the highest level recorded during the initial period. This growth indicates improved crop output, supported by favourable production conditions, efficient farming practices, and changes in cultivated area.
Production declined to 544.30 grams in 2020, reflecting reduced output compared with previous years. However, recovery followed in 2021, with production increasing to 791.78 grams per capita, and continued growth occurred in 2022, reaching 827.60 grams, the highest value during the 2015–2024 period. These fluctuations demonstrate the impact of weather patterns, agricultural productivity, and seasonal variations on oat production.
In recent years, production decreased to 476.22 grams in 2023 before recovering slightly to 570.09 grams in 2024. Although production remained below the peak recorded in 2022, the recovery indicates continued cultivation and adaptability within Mexico’s agricultural sector.
Overall, the dataset highlights the variable nature of Mexico’s oats production per capita and provides valuable insights for analysing agricultural trends, benchmarking production performance, evaluating productivity changes, forecasting future output, and supporting food security analysis, agricultural planning, and market research.
