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, New Zealand's grapes production per capita increased from 70.65 kilograms in 2015 to 75.76 kilograms in 2024, showing overall growth despite fluctuations throughout the decade. The trend highlights the strength of New Zealand's wine industry, supported by efficient vineyard management, favorable growing conditions, and strong export-oriented production.
Production increased significantly from 70.65 kilograms in 2015 to 92.48 kilograms in 2016, reflecting strong harvest performance, improved vineyard productivity, and favorable seasonal conditions. Production moderated to 82.28 kilograms in 2017 and 83.97 kilograms in 2018, while maintaining high levels due to continued investment in vineyard development and sustainable cultivation practices. New Zealand's key grape-growing regions, including Marlborough, Hawke's Bay, and Central Otago, contributed significantly through advanced farming techniques and quality-focused production systems.
Production remained stable at 82.78 kilograms in 2019 before increasing to 90.14 kilograms in 2020, supported by strong vineyard performance and favorable production conditions. However, production declined to 72.44 kilograms in 2021, influenced by seasonal variability, supply chain challenges, and changes in harvest output. A strong recovery occurred in 2022, when production reached 103.67 kilograms, the highest level during the observed period, supported by improved yields and favorable growing conditions.
Production remained high at 102.84 kilograms in 2023 before declining to 75.76 kilograms in 2024, reflecting normal production cycles and environmental variations. Overall, New Zealand's grapes production trends demonstrate the resilience and competitiveness of its premium viticulture industry. The dataset provides valuable insights into vineyard productivity, sustainable farming, export potential, climate adaptation, and the long-term growth outlook of New Zealand's grape production secto
