Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Grapes Production per Capita — Grapes production per capita refers to the annual production of grapes allocated on a per-person basis, measured in kilograms per person. The indicator represents the average amount of grapes produced within a country relative to its population size during a given year. In Our World in Data, the metric is presented as country-level production data over time, allowing comparison of grape production intensity across countries and years. The data is derived from global food and agriculture statistics compiled from sources such as the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
The data includes the total production of grapes from agricultural activities within each country, converted into a per capita measure using the corresponding population estimates. It covers grapes produced for all major uses, including fresh consumption, processing into wine, juice, raisins, and other grape-based products, as classified under agricultural production statistics. The indicator includes annual production values reported for each country and year, adjusted by population to enable cross-country comparison.
The data excludes grape imports, exports, domestic consumption levels, and trade-related activities. It does not represent the amount of grapes available for consumers, as production may be used for processing, storage, animal feed, losses, or industrial purposes. The indicator also excludes production of other fruits and crops outside grapes and does not measure yield efficiency, cultivated area, farmer income, or market value. Differences may occur due to estimation methods, reporting gaps, or revisions in agricultural and population statistics.
About this indicator
Grapes Production per Capita — Grapes production per capita refers to the annual production of grapes allocated on a per-person basis, measured in kilograms per person. The indicator represents the average amount of grapes produced within a country relative to its population size during a given year. In Our World in Data, the metric is presented as country-level production data over time, allowing comparison of grape production intensity across countries and years. The data is derived from global food and agriculture statistics compiled from sources such as the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
According to validated Our World in Data statistics, grapes production per capita increased significantly from 17.54 grams in 2015 to 127.82 grams in 2024, demonstrating strong growth despite the country's limited traditional vineyard area. The trend highlights the impact of modern agricultural techniques and improved production efficiency in supporting grape cultivation under challenging climatic conditions.
Between 2015 and 2017, production per capita increased gradually from 17.54 grams in 2015 to 20.34 grams in 2016 and 23.10 grams in 2017. This growth was supported by expanding vineyard activities, improved cultivation practices, and increasing adoption of advanced farming technologies. The Netherlands' focus on precision agriculture, greenhouse production systems, and climate-controlled environments helped overcome limitations associated with cooler temperatures and shorter growing seasons.
A major increase occurred in 2018, when grapes production per capita reached 97.58 grams, followed by 91.23 grams in 2019 and 96.39 grams in 2020. This significant improvement reflected increased vineyard productivity, better crop management, and greater investment in domestic grape cultivation. Production continued rising to 108.85 grams in 2021 and 117.29 grams in 2022, supported by technological advancements, efficient resource management, and improved agricultural practices.
Production reached 135.97 grams in 2023, the highest level during the observed period, before slightly declining to 127.82 grams in 2024 due to seasonal variations and production adjustments. Overall, the Netherlands' grapes production trends demonstrate the potential of technology-driven agriculture and innovative cultivation methods. The dataset provides valuable insights into vineyard productivity, sustainable farming practices, agricultural modernization, and the future growth potential of the Dutch grape production sector.
