Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Grapes Production per Capita — Grapes production per capita refers to the annual production of grapes allocated on a per-person basis, measured in kilograms per person. The indicator represents the average amount of grapes produced within a country relative to its population size during a given year. In Our World in Data, the metric is presented as country-level production data over time, allowing comparison of grape production intensity across countries and years. The data is derived from global food and agriculture statistics compiled from sources such as the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
The data includes the total production of grapes from agricultural activities within each country, converted into a per capita measure using the corresponding population estimates. It covers grapes produced for all major uses, including fresh consumption, processing into wine, juice, raisins, and other grape-based products, as classified under agricultural production statistics. The indicator includes annual production values reported for each country and year, adjusted by population to enable cross-country comparison.
The data excludes grape imports, exports, domestic consumption levels, and trade-related activities. It does not represent the amount of grapes available for consumers, as production may be used for processing, storage, animal feed, losses, or industrial purposes. The indicator also excludes production of other fruits and crops outside grapes and does not measure yield efficiency, cultivated area, farmer income, or market value. Differences may occur due to estimation methods, reporting gaps, or revisions in agricultural and population statistics.
About this indicator
Grapes Production per Capita — Grapes production per capita refers to the annual production of grapes allocated on a per-person basis, measured in kilograms per person. The indicator represents the average amount of grapes produced within a country relative to its population size during a given year. In Our World in Data, the metric is presented as country-level production data over time, allowing comparison of grape production intensity across countries and years. The data is derived from global food and agriculture statistics compiled from sources such as the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
Based on validated Our World in Data statistics, Portugal's grapes production per capita declined slightly from 90.13 kilograms in 2015 to 88.04 kilograms in 2024, while experiencing fluctuations throughout the decade. The overall trend demonstrates the resilience of Portugal's grape industry, supported by traditional vineyard practices, diverse grape varieties, and strong agricultural expertise.
Production declined from 90.13 kilograms in 2015 to 74.80 kilograms in 2016 due to variations in weather conditions, harvest performance, and regional vineyard productivity. Production recovered to 84.08 kilograms in 2017 before decreasing slightly to 77.68 kilograms in 2018. Portugal's major grape-growing regions, including Douro, Alentejo, Vinho Verde, and Dão, continued to maintain production capacity through improved vineyard management, sustainable cultivation methods, and investments in agricultural technology.
Production increased to 83.62 kilograms in 2019 and remained stable at 82.29 kilograms in 2020, supported by consistent vineyard operations and favorable production conditions. Grapes production per capita increased further to 94.09 kilograms in 2021 and 86.73 kilograms in 2022, reflecting improved harvest outcomes and efficient vineyard practices. In 2023, production reached 95.85 kilograms, the highest level during the observed period, driven by strong agricultural performance and favorable growing conditions.
By 2024, production moderated to 88.04 kilograms, reflecting seasonal variations, climate challenges, and adjustments within the vineyard sector. Overall, Portugal's grapes production trends highlight the strength and adaptability of its mature viticulture industry. The dataset provides valuable insights into vineyard productivity, agricultural efficiency, climate impacts, and the long-term sustainability and competitiveness of Portugal's grape production sector.
