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, Ukraine recorded mustard seed production per capita of 951.19 grams in 2015, which decreased to 779.98 grams in 2016 and further declined to 682.28 grams in 2017. The data indicates a gradual reduction in per capita mustard seed production during the reported years.
During the early period from 2015 to 2017, Ukraine maintained a relatively high level of mustard seed production per capita compared with many European countries, demonstrating its agricultural potential and availability of suitable land resources for oilseed and specialty crop cultivation. However, the continuous decline suggests variations in planted area, crop productivity, market conditions, or shifting priorities among agricultural producers. Changes in weather conditions and farm-level production decisions may also have influenced annual output levels.
From 2018 onward, additional annual mustard seed production per capita values are not available in the dataset through 2024. Due to the absence of recent observations, a complete assessment of Ukraine’s latest production performance cannot be established from this indicator alone. However, the available historical data provides an understanding of the country’s earlier production capacity and its position within the European mustard seed landscape.
Overall, Ukraine’s mustard seed production per capita dataset highlights the importance of monitoring agricultural fluctuations and production changes over time. The indicator provides valuable insights for evaluating crop performance, comparing production efficiency across countries, and understanding regional agricultural trends. It can support market research, production benchmarking, supply analysis, and future agricultural planning by measuring mustard seed output relative to population size. Continued availability of updated data will be essential for assessing Ukraine’s long-term mustard seed production trajectory and its role in regional agricultural markets.
