Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Soybean Production per Capita — Soybean production per capita refers to the annual production of soybeans divided by the total population of a country or region, measured in grams per person. The indicator represents the average amount of soybean output available per individual based on domestic agricultural production during a specific year. In Our World in Data, the indicator is presented as a country-level time series, allowing comparisons of soybean production performance across different countries and periods. The dataset is compiled from agricultural production statistics and population data to calculate per capita production values.
The data includes the total production of soybeans from agricultural activities, expressed on a per capita basis by dividing production volumes by the corresponding population figures. It covers soybean output used for various purposes, including food products, animal feed, vegetable oil production, and industrial applications. The indicator includes annual production trends across countries and regions, enabling analysis of changes in cultivation, productivity, and agricultural output relative to population size. The dataset supports comparisons of soybean production capacity, regional agricultural performance, and long-term production trends.
The data excludes soybean imports, exports, consumption, processing volumes, and stock levels. It does not measure individual dietary availability, market supply, or actual soybean usage within a country. The indicator does not account for differences in farming practices, production costs, land use efficiency, or trade dependency. It also does not represent nutritional intake or food security conditions, as it only reflects domestic soybean production relative to population size. Variations may occur due to differences in agricultural reporting methods, estimation procedures, and data availability across countries.
About this indicator
