Falling to a series low
Mustard Seed Production per Capita 2015–2024 moved from 5.37 Gram in 2015 to 4.79 Gram in 2017 (−10.7%), an average of −5.5% a year. The series high was 5.37 Gram in 2015 and the low 4.79 Gram in 2017.
What Mustard Seed Production per Capita 2015–2024 shows
Mustard Seed Production per Capita 2015–2024 was 4.79 Gram in 2017, down 0.8% on 2016. Denmark mustard seed production per capita showed a declining but relatively stable trend during the available period from 2015 to 2017, reflecting limited mustard cultivation activity, agricultural conditions, and changes in production output relative to population size.
A 10.7% peak-to-trough swing
The gap between the series high (2015) and low (2017) is 0.575 Gram. The sharpest single-year move was −10% in 2016.
Ranks 17 of 17 countries covered
Among the 17 countries in this dataset, Denmark ranks 17 for 2017, behind Nepal (5,702 Gram) and Malaysia (4,157 Gram). The global figure for 2017 is 73.79 Gram, so Denmark is below it.

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, Denmark recorded mustard seed production per capita of 5.37 grams in 2015, which declined slightly to 4.83 grams in 2016 and further decreased to 4.79 grams in 2017. The available data indicates a gradual reduction in per capita production while maintaining a consistent production pattern.
During the early period from 2015 to 2017, Denmark experienced a marginal decline in mustard seed production per capita, suggesting small changes in cultivation levels and annual agricultural output. The limited variation between years indicates that mustard seed production remained relatively stable, although at a lower level compared with major mustard-producing countries. Factors such as cultivated area allocation, crop rotation practices, weather conditions, and agricultural priorities may have influenced production levels during this period.
From 2018 onward, additional annual mustard seed production per capita values are not available in the dataset through 2024. Therefore, recent production developments and changes in Denmark’s mustard seed output cannot be fully evaluated using the available indicator. However, the historical data provides insight into the country’s earlier production capacity and its position within the European mustard seed market.
Overall, Denmark’s mustard seed production per capita dataset reflects a low but consistent production profile during the reported years. The indicator is valuable for understanding agricultural specialization, comparing crop production efficiency, and evaluating mustard seed cultivation patterns across different countries. It supports market analysis, agricultural benchmarking, production assessment, and forecasting by measuring mustard seed output relative to population size. Continued monitoring of future production data will help identify long-term trends and assess Denmark’s evolving contribution to the European mustard seed sector.
