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.
The overall trend indicates a gradual reduction in production relative to population size, although mustard cultivation remained an important agricultural activity.
During the early period from 2015 to 2018, Myanmar experienced a continuous decline in mustard seed production per capita, decreasing from 951.28 grams to 776.21 grams. This reduction reflects variations in crop productivity, cultivated area, weather conditions, and availability of agricultural inputs, and changing farming practices.
Between 2019 and 2021, production continued to decline, falling from 753.03 grams in 2019 to 647.50 grams in 2021. The downward trend indicates challenges in maintaining previous production levels, potentially influenced by agricultural constraints, market conditions, and changes in cultivation patterns.
From 2022 onward, Myanmar recorded limited fluctuations, with production increasing slightly to 691.79 grams in 2022 before declining to 668.17 grams in 2023 and 651.11 grams in 2024. The continued lower production levels highlight the need for improvements in cultivation efficiency and productivity.
Overall, Myanmar’s mustard seed production per capita dataset highlights a gradual decline in agricultural output relative to population size. The indicator provides valuable insights for analysing production trends, evaluating crop performance, benchmarking agricultural efficiency, and understanding changes within the mustard seed sector. It supports market research, agricultural planning, supply assessment, and future production forecasting.
