Philippines Palm Oil Production per Capita

Palm Oil Production per Capita — Palm oil production per capita refers to the annual quantity of palm oil produced by a country relative to its population, measured in kilograms or grams per person. This indicator represents the average palm oil production contribution per individual and helps assess production intensity, agricultural productivity, and the relative importance of palm oil cultivation within a country's agriculture sector. In Our World in Data, the indicator is presented as a country-level time series, with values reported annually for the selected period. The data is based on global food production statistics and provides comparable production measurements across countries and years. Inclusions: The data includes annual palm oil production volumes adjusted according to population size for each country, covering the production of palm oil from agricultural activities during the selected period. It includes country-level production estimates reported on a per capita basis and captures changes resulting from variations in cultivation, plantation output, agricultural productivity, and population growth. The indicator covers palm oil production trends from 2015 to 2023, enabling comparisons of production performance across regions and countries. The dataset includes values expressed in kilograms or grams per capita depending on the reporting unit and provides historical production trends for agricultural analysis. Exclusions: The data excludes palm oil consumption, imports, exports, processing volumes, and market demand indicators. It does not represent individual consumption levels or availability of palm oil within a country. The indicator does not measure plantation area, yield per hectare, production costs, or economic value generated from palm oil production. It also excludes other vegetable oils and agricultural commodities that are not classified as palm oil. Differences between countries may occur due to variations in agricultural practices, climatic conditions, production systems, and population sizes. The indicator focuses only on production output relative to population and does not capture broader environmental, social, or trade-related impacts associated with palm oil production.

The country recovered strongly in 2017, with production increasing to 1,097.86 grams, followed by further growth to 1,142.83 grams in 2018. Although production eased slightly to 1,126.31 grams in 2019 and 1,100.09 grams in 2020, the overall trend remained positive. Production strengthened again during the final three years, rising to 1,155.60 grams in 2021, 1,169.66 grams in 2022, and reaching the highest level of 1,176.77 grams per capita in 2023. The long-term increase indicates gradual improvements in domestic palm oil production despite temporary fluctuations. Measuring production on a per capita basis provides a standardized indicator that accounts for population changes, allowing meaningful comparisons across years and with other producing countries. This dataset offers valuable insights into the country's agricultural performance and the evolving role of palm oil within its agricultural sector. It supports policymakers, agricultural researchers, market analysts, and agribusiness stakeholders in evaluating production trends, monitoring industry development, and assessing long-term productivity. The information also helps identify changes in production patterns over time, supporting strategic planning, agricultural policy formulation, investment decisions, and comparative analysis with other major palm oil-producing nations. Covering 2015 to 2023, the data provides a comprehensive view of the Philippines' palm oil production performance and serves as a useful benchmark for analyzing agricultural output, production efficiency, regional competitiveness, and the long-term development of the country's palm oil industry within the global agricultural landscape.
