Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Millet Production per Capita — Millet production per capita refers to the annual production quantity of millet divided by the total population of a country, measured in grams or kilograms per person. In Our World in Data, this indicator presents country-level and regional millet production trends over time, with values reported for each year within the selected period. It is used to analyse millet output intensity, agricultural productivity, and differences in production levels across countries and regions.
The data includes annual millet production volumes adjusted by population size to calculate per capita production values. It covers millet output from agricultural activities, including production quantities reported for individual countries and regions. Our World in Data compiles the data from Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) agricultural statistics, providing historical time-series information for millet production performance. The indicator includes comparative measurements across countries, regions, and years to evaluate changes in millet cultivation and production capacity.
The data excludes millet consumption, imports, exports, trade values, market prices, food availability, and nutritional intake. It does not measure total agricultural productivity, harvested area, yield per hectare, or farming income. The indicator also does not capture post-harvest losses, processing activities, or domestic utilization of millet. Differences may occur due to revisions in agricultural production estimates, population data updates, reporting methodologies, and variations in data collection practices among countries.
About this indicator
Millet Production per Capita — Millet production per capita refers to the annual production quantity of millet divided by the total population of a country, measured in grams or kilograms per person. In Our World in Data, this indicator presents country-level and regional millet production trends over time, with values reported for each year within the selected period. It is used to analyse millet output intensity, agricultural productivity, and differences in production levels across countries and regions.
According to Our World in Data, regional millet production per capita decreased from 1.52 kilograms in 2015 to 1.38 kilograms in 2024, indicating a moderate reduction in millet output relative to population size over the decade.
During the early years, production declined steadily from 1.52 kilograms per capita in 2015 to 1.50 kilograms in 2016 and 1.49 kilograms in 2017. The downward movement continued in 2018, when production decreased to 1.47 kilograms per capita, highlighting gradual changes in cultivation levels and agricultural priorities. Between 2019 and 2021, Oceania’s millet production per capita continued to reduce, falling from 1.45 kilograms in 2019 to 1.44 kilograms in 2020 and 1.43 kilograms in 2021.
From 2022 onwards, the declining trend continued, with production reaching 1.40 kilograms per capita in 2022, followed by 1.39 kilograms in 2023 and 1.38 kilograms in 2024, the lowest level recorded during the analysed period. The consistent reduction suggests a long-term moderation in millet production intensity rather than short-term fluctuations.
Australia remained the primary contributor to Oceania’s millet production, making regional trends closely linked with changes in Australian agricultural output. Factors such as crop diversification, changing farming practices, climate conditions, and resource allocation may have influenced the gradual decline in production levels.
Overall, Oceania’s millet production per capita decreased by approximately 9% between 2015 and 2024, highlighting a steady reduction in regional millet output intensity. The indicator provides valuable insights into agricultural trends, production performance, and changes in millet cultivation patterns across Oceania over time.
