Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Soybean Production per Capita — - Soybean production per capita refers to the annual production of soybeans divided by the total population of a country or region, measured in grams or kilograms per person. The indicator represents the average amount of soybean produced per individual based on domestic agricultural output during a selected year. In Our World in Data, the indicator is presented as a country-by-country and regional time series, with values reported for each year in the selected period. The dataset combines agricultural production statistics with population data to calculate per capita soybean production levels.
The data includes the total agricultural production of soybeans, converted into per capita values by dividing production quantities by the corresponding population figures. It covers soybean output from crop cultivation activities used for food products, animal feed, vegetable oil production, biofuel applications, and industrial purposes. The indicator includes annual production trends across countries and regions, allowing analysis of changes in soybean production capacity, agricultural productivity, and output relative to population size. The dataset supports comparisons of soybean production performance, regional agricultural development, and long-term production trends.
The data excludes soybean imports, exports, consumption, processing volumes, storage levels, and trade-related activities. It does not measure actual soybean availability, dietary consumption, nutritional intake, or domestic market supply. The indicator does not account for differences in farming methods, production costs, land efficiency, or dependence on international soybean trade. It also does not represent food security conditions, as it only measures domestic soybean production relative to population size. Variations may occur due to differences in agricultural reporting methods, estimation procedures, production measurement standards, and data availability across countries and regions.
About this indicator
Soybean Production per Capita — - Soybean production per capita refers to the annual production of soybeans divided by the total population of a country or region, measured in grams or kilograms per person. The indicator represents the average amount of soybean produced per individual based on domestic agricultural output during a selected year. In Our World in Data, the indicator is presented as a country-by-country and regional time series, with values reported for each year in the selected period. The dataset combines agricultural production statistics with population data to calculate per capita soybean production levels.
The series high was 2.42 Kilogram in 2024 and the low 0.589 Kilogram in 2019. The gap between the series high (2024) and low (2019) is 1.83 Kilogram. The sharpest single-year move was +130.1% in 2021. Within Oceania, Australia has the highest value in 2024 at 2.44 Kilogram.
Oceania’s soybean production per capita between 2015 and 2024 demonstrates a fluctuating but gradually strengthening agricultural trend, reflecting changes in soybean cultivation, crop productivity, weather conditions, and regional agricultural resource availability. Soybeans contribute to Oceania’s agricultural sector by supporting food processing, livestock feed production, vegetable oil industries, and diversified crop production systems. Based on the available data, soybean production per capita increased from 1,563.35 grams in 2015 to 2,419.39 grams in 2024, indicating overall growth despite significant variations throughout the period.
The overall trend highlights the resilience and growth potential of soybean production in Oceania despite periodic fluctuations. Changes in production levels may have been influenced by climate variability, farming practices, technological improvements, and market conditions affecting soybean cultivation.
Overall, the dataset highlights the changing dynamics of soybean production in Oceania and provides valuable insights for analysing agricultural performance, monitoring per capita production trends, assessing regional production capacity, forecasting future supply potential, and evaluating the impact of climate conditions, productivity improvements, and market developments on the soybean sector.
