Mushroom production per capita refers to the annual quantity of mushrooms produced within a country, measured on a per person basis.
Philippines Mushroom Production per Capita was 0.00761 Kilogram in 2024, up 23% on 2023. Philippines mushroom production per capita between 2015 and 2024 reflects a gradual growth trend, highlighting the expansion of mushroom cultivation, increasing awareness of alternative agricultural activities, and rising demand for nutritious food products. According to validated Our World in Data (FAOSTAT) data, the Philippines’ mushroom production per capita increased from 5.28 grams in 2015 to 7.61 grams in 2024.
Philippines Mushroom Production per Capita moved from 0.00528 Kilogram in 2015 to 0.00761 Kilogram in 2024 (+44.3%), an average of +4.2% a year. The series high was 0.00761 Kilogram in 2024 and the low 0.00528 Kilogram in 2015.
The gap between the series high (2024) and low (2015) is 0.00234 Kilogram. The sharpest single-year move was +23% in 2024.
Among the 32 countries in this dataset, Philippines ranks 30 for 2024, behind China (34.25 Kilogram) and Ireland (13.35 Kilogram). The global figure for 2024 is 6.32 Kilogram, so Philippines is below it.

Data definition
Mushroom Production per Capita — Mushroom production per capita refers to the annual quantity of mushrooms produced within a country, measured on a per person basis. The indicator is expressed in grams per capita (or kilograms per capita where applicable) and represents the average mushroom production volume relative to the country’s population size. In Our World in Data, the indicator is based on FAOSTAT agricultural production data and is presented as a country-level time series, allowing comparison of mushroom production trends across countries and years between 2015 and 2024.
The data includes the annual production of mushrooms reported under FAOSTAT agricultural production statistics, covering cultivated mushroom output measured by weight. The indicator includes country-level mushroom production values adjusted according to population size to calculate per capita production. The dataset captures changes in agricultural production capacity, cultivation practices, and output trends over time. It supports analysis of mushroom industry development, agricultural productivity, food supply trends, and comparisons between different countries and regions.
The data excludes mushroom consumption, imports, exports, and trade-related activities, as it measures only domestic production. It does not represent individual consumption levels, market availability, retail sales, or nutritional intake. The indicator does not include wild mushroom collection unless recorded within official agricultural production statistics. It also does not measure production value, revenue, cultivation costs, or farm-level productivity. Differences may occur due to variations in national reporting methods, estimation procedures, and statistical coverage used by FAOSTAT.
Mushroom Production per Capita — Mushroom production per capita refers to the annual quantity of mushrooms produced within a country, measured on a per person basis. The indicator is expressed in grams per capita (or kilograms per capita where applicable) and represents the average mushroom production volume relative to the country’s population size. In Our World in Data, the indicator is based on FAOSTAT agricultural production data and is presented as a country-level time series, allowing comparison of mushroom production trends across countries and years between 2015 and 2024.
Although production levels remain relatively low compared with major mushroom-producing countries, the steady increase indicates growing interest in mushroom farming and its contribution to agricultural diversification.
Between 2015 and 2018, mushroom production per capita showed consistent improvement, increasing from 5.28 grams in 2015 to 5.44 grams in 2016, 5.85 grams in 2017, and 5.98 grams in 2018. This gradual rise was supported by increasing adoption of small-scale mushroom cultivation, availability of agricultural resources, and growing consumer recognition of mushrooms as a healthy and sustainable food option. Farmers increasingly explored mushroom production as an additional income-generating activity due to its relatively lower land requirements.
From 2019 to 2021, production continued to increase, rising from 6.06 grams in 2019 to 6.43 grams in 2020 and 6.71 grams in 2021. The sector demonstrated resilience during changing market conditions as producers adapted through improved cultivation methods and local production initiatives. Growing demand from households, restaurants, and food processing industries supported continued expansion.
Between 2022 and 2024, mushroom production per capita experienced minor fluctuations but maintained an overall positive trend, reaching 6.97 grams in 2022, declining slightly to 6.19 grams in 2023, and increasing to 7.61 grams in 2024. The recovery reflects improving production practices, market development, and increasing consumer interest.
Overall, the Philippines’ mushroom production sector shows steady growth potential within its agricultural landscape. The mushroom production per capita indicator provides valuable insights into production development, agricultural diversification, food supply trends, and future opportunities for expanding mushroom cultivation in the Philippines.
