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, with values reported 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 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 compiled from internationally reported agricultural production statistics and provides historical trends for analysing 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, with values reported 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 series high was 1,309 Gram in 2023 and the low 385.2 Gram in 2016. The gap between the series high (2023) and low (2016) is 924.1 Gram. The sharpest single-year move was +87.1% in 2018.
Europe mustard seed production per capita demonstrated a fluctuating but overall strong production trend between 2015 and 2024, reflecting variations in agricultural output, cultivation patterns, and production conditions across European countries. According to Our World in Data, Europe recorded mustard seed production per capita of 403.26 grams in 2015, which increased to 938.13 grams in 2024. The overall trend indicates significant growth in regional mustard production relative to population size, supported by major producing countries including Ukraine, Czechia, Hungary, and other European producers.
During the early period from 2015 to 2018, Europe experienced variations in mustard seed production per capita. Production increased from 403.26 grams in 2015 to 802.16 grams in 2018, reflecting improvements in production levels and favourable agricultural conditions in several countries. Changes in cultivated area, crop yields, and seasonal factors contributed to fluctuations across the region.
Overall, Europe’s mustard seed production per capita dataset highlights a dynamic agricultural trend with periods of growth and fluctuation. The indicator provides valuable insights for analysing regional production patterns, benchmarking agricultural efficiency, evaluating supply potential, and understanding changes within the European mustard seed sector. It supports agricultural research, market analysis, production planning, and future forecasting by measuring output relative to population size.
