Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Mustard Seed Production per Capita 2015–2024 — Mustard Seed Production per Capita refers to the annual production quantity of mustard seeds divided by the total population of a country, measured in grams per person. In Our World in Data, this indicator is presented as a country-level production time series, showing mustard seed production per capita values for each year in the selected period. The metric provides insights into the relative intensity of mustard seed production and enables comparison of agricultural output across countries with different population sizes.
The data includes annual mustard seed production quantities adjusted according to population size, covering country-level mustard seed output reported for the selected years. The indicator includes production of mustard seeds as an agricultural commodity and presents values in grams per capita to measure production relative to population. The dataset is derived from internationally compiled agricultural statistics and provides historical trends to analyse changes in mustard cultivation, production performance, and agricultural productivity over time.
The data excludes mustard seed consumption, imports, exports, trade values, market prices, cultivated area, yield per hectare, and economic value generated from mustard production. It does not measure domestic availability, processing activities, storage, or end-use applications of mustard seeds. The indicator also does not capture non-agricultural factors affecting supply chains. Differences may occur due to variations in agricultural reporting methods, estimation approaches, and data availability across countries.
About this indicator
Mustard Seed Production per Capita 2015–2024 — Mustard Seed Production per Capita refers to the annual production quantity of mustard seeds divided by the total population of a country, measured in grams per person. In Our World in Data, this indicator is presented as a country-level production time series, showing mustard seed production per capita values for each year in the selected period. The metric provides insights into the relative intensity of mustard seed production and enables comparison of agricultural output across countries with different population sizes.
According to Our World in Data, Romania recorded mustard seed production per capita of 192.39 grams in 2015, which increased to 229.76 grams in 2016 before declining significantly to 128.19 grams in 2017. The available data indicates short-term variation in mustard seed production levels, with overall output influenced by annual agricultural conditions.
During the early period from 2015 to 2017, Romania experienced an initial improvement in mustard seed production per capita, as production increased in 2016 compared with the previous year. This growth reflected favorable cultivation conditions and improved production performance. However, the decline recorded in 2017 suggests a reduction in production volumes, which may have been associated with changes in crop yields, harvested area, weather-related factors, or shifting agricultural priorities. These fluctuations highlight the sensitivity of mustard seed production to seasonal and market-related factors.
From 2018 onward, additional annual mustard seed production per capita values are not available in the dataset through 2024. Therefore, recent production developments cannot be fully evaluated using this indicator. However, the available historical data provides useful insight into Romania’s earlier mustard seed production capacity and its role within the European agricultural landscape.
Overall, Romania’s mustard seed production per capita dataset reflects a variable production trend during the reported period and highlights the importance of monitoring agricultural performance over time. The indicator provides valuable insights for assessing crop productivity, comparing production efficient countries, and understanding regional mustard seed production patterns. It supports agricultural research, market analysis, production benchmarking, and supply forecasting by measuring mustard seed output relative to population size. Future data availability will help evaluate Romania’s long-term production trends and its evolving position in the mustard seed sector.
