Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
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.
About this indicator
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.
However, production declined sharply in 2018 to 5.23 kg per capita, representing the lowest level during the observed period.
From 2019 onwards, Poland’s mushroom production per capita recovered significantly, reaching 6.14 kg per capita in 2019 and increasing further to 8.38 kg per capita in 2020. The upward momentum continued in 2021, when production reached the highest level of the decade at 9.96 kg per capita, reflecting strong cultivation capacity and Poland’s growing importance in the European mushroom production market.
After reaching its peak in 2021, production levels declined in 2022 and 2023, falling to 6.69 kg per capita and 6.20 kg per capita, respectively. In 2024, production showed a slight recovery to 6.63 kg per capita, indicating early signs of stabilization after the previous decline.
Overall, Poland’s mushroom production per capita increased by approximately -6%? Wait, correction: production declined slightly from 7.03 kg per capita in 2015 to 6.63 kg per capita in 2024, representing a decrease of around 6% over the period. Despite this minor decline, Poland maintained a strong mushroom production base, supported by advanced cultivation practices, favourable agricultural conditions, and its position as one of Europe’s leading mushroom producers. The fluctuations during the period suggest changes in production intensity, market conditions, and sector-level adjustments rather than a long-term decline in the industry.
