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, Moldova's grapes production per capita declined from 182.12 kilograms in 2015 to 130.61 kilograms in 2024, although production remained significantly higher than many European countries. The trend highlights Moldova's strong grape-growing tradition, supported by extensive vineyard areas, favorable agricultural conditions, and a long-established wine production industry.
Production increased from 182.12 kilograms in 2015 to 190.17 kilograms in 2016 and reached 211.38 kilograms in 2017. Growth continued in 2018, when production peaked at 231.52 kilograms per capita, supported by favorable weather conditions, strong harvest performance, vineyard productivity improvements, and continued investment in grape cultivation. Moldova's major wine-producing regions benefited from experienced vineyard management, improved farming practices, and growing demand for quality grape products.
However, production declined to 211.63 kilograms in 2019 and decreased significantly to 150.55 kilograms in 2020 due to unfavorable weather conditions, production challenges, and fluctuations in agricultural output. Production showed gradual recovery from 162.27 kilograms in 2021 to 174.72 kilograms in 2022 and 186.20 kilograms in 2023, supported by improved vineyard operations and better production conditions.
In 2024, grapes production per capita declined to 130.61 kilograms, reflecting climate variability, changing market conditions, rising production costs, and adjustments within the vineyard sector. Despite recent fluctuations, Moldova remains one of Europe's important grape-producing countries due to its favorable climate, extensive vineyards, and strong wine industry heritage.
Overall, Moldova's grapes production trends demonstrate both the strength and vulnerability of a traditional viticulture economy. The dataset provides valuable insights into vineyard productivity, agricultural resilience, climate impacts, and the long-term sustainability of Moldova's grape production sector.
