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, Germany recorded mustard seed production per capita values of 98.80 grams in 2015, increasing slightly to 99.93 grams in 2016 before declining marginally to 98.60 grams in 2017. The available data indicates a relatively consistent production pattern during the reported period, highlighting limited fluctuations in per capita output.
During the early years from 2015 to 2017, Germany’s mustard seed production per capita remained nearly unchanged, suggesting a balanced relationship between production volumes and population levels. The stability reflects consistent agricultural practices, steady cultivation conditions, and maintained production capacity within the mustard seed segment. Unlike countries with larger production fluctuations, Germany demonstrated a more controlled production environment during the observed years.
From 2018 onward, the dataset does not report additional annual values, indicating limited availability of reported mustard seed production per capita data for the remaining years through 2024. The absence of updated observations restricts the evaluation of recent production changes but highlights the importance of considering data availability when assessing long-term agricultural trends.
Overall, Germany’s mustard seed production per capita dataset reflects a stable production profile during the available period. The indicator provides useful insights into Germany’s agricultural production capacity, crop performance, and position within the European mustard seed market. It can support comparative analysis, production benchmarking, agricultural planning, and evaluation of crop trends. Monitoring future data availability and production developments will be important for understanding Germany’s evolving role in mustard seed cultivation and broader agricultural commodity markets.
