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, Lithuania recorded mustard seed production per capita of 170.27 grams in 2015, which increased slightly to 172.80 grams in 2016 and further improved to 174.58 grams in 2017. The available data indicates a consistent upward movement in per capita production with limited annual fluctuations.
During the early period from 2015 to 2017, Lithuania maintained a stable mustard seed production profile, supported by continuous cultivation activities and balanced agricultural output. The gradual increase across the three years suggests improvements in production efficiency, crop management practices, or favourable seasonal conditions that contributed to maintaining mustard seed availability relative to population size. Compared with countries experiencing significant year-to-year volatility, Lithuania showed a more consistent production pattern during the observed period.
From 2018 onward, additional annual mustard seed production per capita values are not available in the dataset through 2024. As a result, the recent performance and potential changes in Lithuania’s mustard seed production levels cannot be fully assessed from the available data. However, the historical observations provide useful insight into the country’s production capacity and its role within the European mustard seed cultivation landscape.
Overall, Lithuania’s mustard seed production per capita dataset highlights a stable agricultural production trend during the reported years. The indicator provides valuable insights for evaluating crop productivity, comparing production efficiency across countries, and understanding regional agricultural dynamics. It supports market research, production benchmarking, supply analysis, and forecasting activities by measuring mustard seed output relative to population size. Future availability of updated data will be important for assessing Lithuania’s long-term production trends and its contribution to the broader European mustard seed sector.
