Lower over the period
Philippines Soybean Production per Capita moved from 0.00518 Kilogram in 2015 to 0.00437 Kilogram in 2024 (−15.7%), an average of −1.9% a year. The series high was 0.00616 Kilogram in 2017 and the low 0.00360 Kilogram in 2021.
What Philippines Soybean Production per Capita shows
Philippines Soybean Production per Capita was 0.00437 Kilogram in 2024, down 18.5% on 2023. Philippines’ soybean production per capita between 2015 and 2024 reflects a low and fluctuating agricultural trend influenced by domestic cultivation patterns, crop productivity, weather conditions, and resource availability. Soybeans play an important role in food processing, livestock and poultry feed, vegetable oil production, and plant-based food industries.
A 41.5% peak-to-trough swing
The gap between the series high (2017) and low (2021) is 0.00256 Kilogram. The sharpest single-year move was +52.6% in 2022.
Ranks 24 of 24 countries covered
Among the 24 countries in this dataset, Philippines ranks 24 for 2024, behind Argentina (1,055 Kilogram) and Brazil (681.5 Kilogram). The global figure for 2024 is 48.72 Kilogram, so Philippines is below it.

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 per person. The indicator represents the average amount of soybean output available per individual based on domestic agricultural production during a specific year. In Our World in Data, the indicator is presented as a country-level time series, allowing comparisons of soybean production performance across different countries and periods. The dataset is compiled from agricultural production statistics and population data to calculate per capita production values.
The data includes the total production of soybeans from agricultural activities, expressed on a per capita basis by dividing production volumes by the corresponding population figures. It covers soybean output used for various purposes, including food products, animal feed, vegetable oil production, and industrial applications. The indicator includes annual production trends across countries and regions, enabling analysis of changes in cultivation, productivity, and agricultural output relative to population size. The dataset supports comparisons of soybean production capacity, regional agricultural performance, and long-term production trends.
The data excludes soybean imports, exports, consumption, processing volumes, and stock levels. It does not measure individual dietary availability, market supply, or actual soybean usage within a country. The indicator does not account for differences in farming practices, production costs, land use efficiency, or trade dependency. It also does not represent nutritional intake or food security conditions, as it only reflects domestic soybean production relative to population size. Variations may occur due to differences in agricultural reporting methods, estimation procedures, and data availability across countries.
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 per person. The indicator represents the average amount of soybean output available per individual based on domestic agricultural production during a specific year. In Our World in Data, the indicator is presented as a country-level time series, allowing comparisons of soybean production performance across different countries and periods. The dataset is compiled from agricultural production statistics and population data to calculate per capita production values.
During the period, soybean production per capita declined from 5.18 grams in 2015 to 4.37 grams in 2024, indicating an overall reduction despite temporary periods of improvement.
Production remained relatively stable in the initial years, decreasing slightly from 5.18 grams in 2015 to 5.10 grams in 2016. It then increased to 6.16 grams in 2017, the highest level recorded during the period, before gradually declining to 6.01 grams in 2018 and 5.94 grams in 2019. These changes indicate moderate fluctuations in domestic soybean output while maintaining a limited production base.
A further decline occurred between 2020 and 2021, with production per capita falling from 4.95 grams to 3.60 grams, the lowest value recorded during the period. This decline may be associated with production challenges, including adverse weather conditions, changes in cultivated area, yield variations, and competition for agricultural resources. Production recovered in 2022, rising to 5.50 grams, reflecting improved output conditions. However, the trend weakened again, with production declining to 5.36 grams in 2023 and 4.37 grams in 2024.
Overall, the data highlights the limited scale and variability of soybean production in the Philippines. The indicator provides valuable insights for analysing agricultural performance, monitoring per capita output trends, understanding production challenges, and evaluating the impact of climate conditions, productivity changes, and resource allocation on the soybean sector.
