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).
Based on validated Our World in Data statistics, grapes production per capita declined from 163.99 kilograms in 2015 to 112.76 kilograms in 2024, showing fluctuations throughout the decade. Despite this decline, North Macedonia remains an important grape-producing country in the Balkan region, supported by favorable growing conditions, traditional vineyard practices, and a strong wine production heritage.
Production increased slightly from 163.99 kilograms in 2015 to 169.95 kilograms in 2016 before declining significantly to 92.92 kilograms in 2017 due to unfavorable weather conditions, lower harvest performance, and regional production challenges. The sector recovered strongly in 2018, reaching 153.41 kilograms per capita, supported by improved vineyard conditions, favorable growing seasons, and better agricultural management practices.
Production remained relatively strong in 2019, recording 136.46 kilograms, and increased again to 169.63 kilograms in 2020, reflecting improved harvest outcomes and stable vineyard operations. However, production declined to 145.39 kilograms in 2021 and 144.31 kilograms in 2022 due to changing climate conditions, rising input costs, and fluctuations in vineyard yields. A significant reduction occurred in 2023, when production fell to 81.34 kilograms per capita, influenced by weather-related challenges and lower grape output.
In 2024, grapes production per capita recovered moderately to 112.76 kilograms, indicating gradual stabilization within the sector. Overall, North Macedonia's grapes production trends demonstrate the resilience of its traditional viticulture industry while highlighting its sensitivity to environmental and economic factors. The dataset provides valuable insights into vineyard productivity, agricultural efficiency, climate adaptation, and the future development of the country's grape production sector.
