Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Oats Production per Capita — Oats Production Per Capita refers to the annual production of oats divided by the total population of a country, measured in kilograms or grams per person per year. The indicator represents the average amount of oats produced for each individual based on total agricultural production and population size. 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 provides insights into oat production performance, agricultural productivity, and changes in production capacity relative to population growth.
The data includes the total agricultural production of oats, covering oat crops harvested for food, feed, and other agricultural uses as reported in global food and agriculture datasets. The indicator incorporates annual oat production volumes and population estimates to calculate per capita production values. Our World in Data compiles the data from internationally recognised agricultural statistics sources, including the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and provides comparable country-level figures across different regions and time periods.
The data excludes oat consumption, imports, exports, processing activities, and market demand. It does not measure individual dietary intake, availability of oats for consumers, or actual domestic supply after trade adjustments. The indicator also does not represent productivity per hectare, farm-level efficiency, or quality differences in oat production. Variations may occur due to differences in agricultural reporting methods, estimation procedures, and population data sources used for calculating per capita values.
About this indicator
Oats Production per Capita — Oats Production Per Capita refers to the annual production of oats divided by the total population of a country, measured in kilograms or grams per person per year. The indicator represents the average amount of oats produced for each individual based on total agricultural production and population size. 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 provides insights into oat production performance, agricultural productivity, and changes in production capacity relative to population growth.
The indicator provides insight into Poland’s agricultural productivity, crop output efficiency, and oat production performance relative to population size.
During the early years, oats production per capita increased from 31.87 kilograms in 2015 to 35.49 kilograms in 2016 and further to 38.29 kilograms in 2017, showing improving production performance. However, production declined to 29.92 kilograms in 2018, reflecting annual variations in crop yields, weather conditions, and cultivated area. Production recovered slightly to 31.64 kilograms in 2019, indicating a return toward more stable output levels.
A significant improvement occurred in 2020, when oats production per capita increased to 43.14 kilograms, followed by a marginal decline to 42.72 kilograms in 2021. Production remained relatively strong in 2022 at 39.10 kilograms, demonstrating continued stability in Poland’s oat production sector. These changes reflect the influence of agricultural practices, seasonal conditions, and farm-level productivity on annual production outcomes.
In recent years, production remained consistent, reaching 38.79 kilograms in 2023 before increasing to 41.95 kilograms in 2024. The recovery in the latest year highlights improved production conditions and continued importance of oats within Poland’s agricultural landscape.
Overall, the dataset highlights Poland’s steady oats production per capita performance between 2015 and 2024, with moderate growth and resilience despite yearly fluctuations. It provides valuable insights for analysing agricultural trends, benchmarking country performance, evaluating productivity changes, forecasting future oat production, and supporting agricultural policy, food security analysis, and market research related to cereal crop production.
