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, France recorded mustard seed production per capita of 246.47 grams in 2015, followed by a decline to 221.15 grams in 2016 and a recovery to 249.68 grams in 2017. The available data indicates relatively stable production levels with limited year-to-year variation.
During the early period from 2015 to 2017, France maintained a comparatively higher mustard seed production per capita level within the European region. The initial decline in 2016 may have been influenced by variations in crop yields, cultivated area, or seasonal agricultural conditions, while the recovery in 2017 reflected improved production performance. The overall stability suggests consistent cultivation practices and continued importance of mustard seed production within France’s agricultural landscape.
From 2018 onward, additional annual production per capita values are not available in the dataset through 2024. This limitation prevents a detailed assessment of recent production movements; however, the available historical data provides insight into France’s production capacity and relative position in mustard seed cultivation.
Overall, France’s mustard seed production per capita dataset highlights a stable agricultural production pattern during the reported years. The indicator is valuable for understanding crop productivity, comparing production efficiency across countries, and evaluating France’s role within the European mustard seed sector. It supports agricultural research, market analysis, production benchmarking, and forecasting activities by providing a standardized measure of mustard seed output relative to population size. Continued monitoring of future production data will help assess long-term trends, supply potential, and changes in France’s agricultural production dynamics.
