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, Bulgaria recorded mustard seed production per capita of 150.48 grams in 2015, followed by 147.43 grams in 2016 and 148.44 grams in 2017. The available data indicates minimal year-to-year variation, suggesting a stable production environment during the observed period.
During the early period from 2015 to 2017, Bulgaria maintained a consistent level of mustard seed production per capita, with only marginal fluctuations across the three reported years. The slight decline in 2016 was followed by a minor recovery in 2017, indicating steady agricultural performance despite small changes in annual production conditions. This stability reflects the role of consistent farming practices, suitable agricultural land availability, and maintained cultivation activities in supporting mustard seed output.
From 2018 onward, additional annual mustard seed production per capita values are not available in the dataset through 2024. Therefore, recent developments in Bulgaria’s mustard seed production cannot be fully evaluated using the available data. However, the historical observations provide an understanding of the country’s production capacity and its contribution to the European mustard seed agricultural landscape.
Overall, Bulgaria’s mustard seed production per capita dataset highlights a stable production profile during the reported period. The indicator is valuable for analyzing agricultural productivity, comparing crop production efficiency among countries, and understanding regional trends in mustard seed cultivation. It supports market analysis, agricultural benchmarking, supply assessment, and production forecasting by providing a population-adjusted measurement of crop output. Continued availability of updated production data will help evaluate Bulgaria’s future mustard seed production trajectory and its evolving role within regional agricultural markets.
