Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Linseed Oil Production per Capita — Linseed Oil Production per Capita refers to the annual quantity of linseed oil produced in a country divided by its total population, expressed in grams per person. In the Our World in Data database, this indicator is derived from food production statistics and presents the amount of linseed oil produced on a per capita basis for each country over the selected time period, enabling comparisons of production intensity across countries and years.
The data includes domestic production of linseed oil intended for food use, calculated on a per capita basis using national production volumes and population estimates. It covers annual country-level production data reported in the Our World in Data food dataset (primarily sourced from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization - FAO) and includes historical values for the selected years, allowing analysis of production trends and cross-country comparisons.
The data excludes imports, exports, domestic consumption, stocks, industrial or non-food uses, trade flows, prices, production value, and processing activities. It does not measure total flaxseed production, cultivation area, crop yield, or the economic value of linseed oil production. The indicator reflects only annual domestic linseed oil production per capita and may be subject to revisions based on updates to the underlying FAO and population datasets.
About this indicator
Linseed Oil Production per Capita — Linseed Oil Production per Capita refers to the annual quantity of linseed oil produced in a country divided by its total population, expressed in grams per person. In the Our World in Data database, this indicator is derived from food production statistics and presents the amount of linseed oil produced on a per capita basis for each country over the selected time period, enabling comparisons of production intensity across countries and years.
This indicator measures annual linseed oil production per person, helping assess production intensity, agricultural productivity, and the contribution of linseed-based products within Poland’s food and agricultural sector.
During the period from 2015 to 2023, Poland’s linseed oil production per capita experienced variations influenced by factors such as flaxseed cultivation trends, crop yields, weather conditions, farming practices, processing capacity, and market demand. These fluctuations highlight changes in domestic production patterns and provide insights into the availability and development of linseed oil output over time.
This dataset supports analysis of Poland’s oilseed production landscape, vegetable oil supply trends, and the role of linseed oil in the broader food and beverage industry. It provides useful information for researchers, policymakers, businesses, and agricultural stakeholders evaluating production performance, resource utilization, and historical changes in the oilseed sector.
The Poland linseed oil production per capita indicator helps examine annual production changes, agricultural efficiency, and long-term output trends. By analyzing data between 2015 and 2023, stakeholders can better understand variations in production levels, evaluate the impact of agricultural conditions, and identify trends shaping Poland’s linseed oil production ecosystem.
This macro indicator serves as a reference for studying Poland’s linseed oil production trends, per capita output changes, and agricultural sector developments. It supports data-driven research related to food industry planning, supply chain evaluation, sustainable agriculture, and comparative analysis with other European and global linseed oil-producing countries.
The data also provides insights into Poland’s position within the European linseed oil market by highlighting production fluctuations, agricultural capabilities, and sector evolution. It helps identify opportunities for improving production efficiency, supporting sustainable farming practices, and understanding future growth prospects in the linseed oil industry.
