Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Mushroom Production per Capita — Mushroom production per capita refers to the annual quantity of mushrooms produced within a country or region, adjusted according to the population size and measured on a per person basis. The indicator is expressed in grams per capita or kilograms per capita and represents the average mushroom production available relative to the population. In Our World in Data, the indicator is based on FAOSTAT agricultural production statistics and is presented as a country-level time series, allowing comparison of mushroom production trends across countries and regions during the selected period.
The data includes the annual production volume of mushrooms reported through FAOSTAT agricultural production statistics, covering cultivated mushroom output measured by weight. The indicator includes country and regional production values converted into per capita measurements using population data. It captures changes in mushroom cultivation, agricultural productivity, production capacity, and output trends over time. The dataset supports analysis of mushroom industry development, agricultural diversification, food supply trends, and comparisons of production performance across different geographic areas.
The data excludes mushroom consumption, imports, exports, trade values, and market sales, as it measures only domestic production levels. It does not represent actual consumer intake, availability in retail markets, or nutritional consumption patterns. The indicator does not include economic factors such as production costs, revenue, farm profitability, or market prices. Wild mushroom collection is excluded unless recorded within official agricultural production statistics. Differences may occur due to variations in national reporting methods, estimation techniques, data coverage, and statistical procedures used by FAOSTAT.
About this indicator
Mushroom Production per Capita — Mushroom production per capita refers to the annual quantity of mushrooms produced within a country or region, adjusted according to the population size and measured on a per person basis. The indicator is expressed in grams per capita or kilograms per capita and represents the average mushroom production available relative to the population. In Our World in Data, the indicator is based on FAOSTAT agricultural production statistics and is presented as a country-level time series, allowing comparison of mushroom production trends across countries and regions during the selected period.
The overall growth indicates gradual development of mushroom cultivation, supported by advanced farming practices, controlled-environment production systems, and consistent consumer demand.
Between 2015 and 2018, mushroom production per capita showed minor fluctuations, increasing from 1.54 kilograms in 2015 to 1.78 kilograms in 2016, before declining to 1.62 kilograms in 2017 and recovering to 1.75 kilograms in 2018. During this period, production was primarily supported by Australia’s established mushroom industry, which benefits from modern cultivation technologies, efficient supply chains, and strong domestic demand for fresh mushroom products.
From 2019 to 2021, production remained relatively stable, declining slightly from 1.64 kilograms in 2019 to 1.64 kilograms in 2020 before increasing significantly to 2.26 kilograms in 2021. The growth reflected improved production performance, changing consumer preferences toward healthy food products, and increased adoption of efficient cultivation methods. Producers continued to strengthen supply reliability through controlled farming systems and improved resource management.
Between 2022 and 2024, production moderated but remained above earlier levels, decreasing from 2.08 kilograms in 2022 to 1.99 kilograms in 2023 and 1.80 kilograms in 2024. The decline was influenced by production adjustments, operating costs, and changing market conditions, although overall output remained stable compared with the beginning of the period.
Overall, Oceania’s mushroom production sector demonstrates resilience and gradual development within the regional agricultural landscape. The mushroom production per capita indicator provides valuable insights into production trends, agricultural productivity, market demand, sustainability practices, and future opportunities for expanding mushroom cultivation across Oceania.
