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 257.2 Gram in 2022 and the low 143.5 Gram in 2017. The gap between the series high (2022) and low (2017) is 113.7 Gram. The sharpest single-year move was +46.9% in 2020. Within Asia, Nepal has the highest value in 2024 at 7,093 Gram.
Asia mustard seed production per capita demonstrated a gradual increasing trend between 2015 and 2024, reflecting variations in agricultural output, cultivation patterns, and production performance across the region. According to Our World in Data, Asia recorded mustard seed production per capita of 145.80 grams in 2015, which increased to 256.82 grams in 2024. The overall trend indicates growth in mustard seed production relative to population size, supported by major producing countries such as Nepal, Myanmar, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, and China.
During the early period from 2015 to 2018, Asia experienced moderate fluctuations in mustard seed production per capita, increasing from 145.80 grams in 2015 to 173.43 grams in 2018. This growth reflects changes in production levels, crop productivity, cultivated area, and agricultural conditions across different countries. Strong production contributions from countries with established mustard cultivation supported regional growth.
Overall, Asia’s mustard seed production per capita dataset highlights the region’s important role in mustard cultivation and agricultural production. The indicator provides valuable insights for analysing production trends, benchmarking agricultural efficiency, evaluating regional performance, and understanding changes within the mustard seed sector. It supports market research, agricultural planning, supply assessment, and future production forecasting by measuring mustard seed output relative to population size.
