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, Romania's grapes production per capita declined slightly from 40.20 kilograms in 2015 to 37.03 kilograms in 2024, while experiencing notable fluctuations throughout the decade. The trend highlights the resilience of Romania's grape industry, supported by extensive vineyard areas, favorable growing conditions, and a strong wine production tradition.
Production declined from 40.20 kilograms in 2015 to 37.26 kilograms in 2016 before increasing significantly to 54.20 kilograms in 2017 and reaching 58.20 kilograms in 2018, the highest level during the observed period. This growth was supported by favorable weather conditions, improved vineyard productivity, stronger harvest performance, and investments in modern cultivation techniques. Romania's major grape-producing regions, including Moldova, Muntenia, Oltenia, and Transylvania, contributed to increased output through improved vineyard management and sustainable farming practices.
Production decreased to 49.94 kilograms in 2019 and 48.10 kilograms in 2020 due to changing weather conditions, harvest variations, and production challenges affecting vineyard operations. It recovered slightly to 52.23 kilograms in 2021, supported by improved growing conditions, before declining to 41.99 kilograms in 2022 and 41.90 kilograms in 2023. These reductions were influenced by climate variability, rising production costs, and adjustments within the vineyard sector.
By 2024, Romania's grapes production per capita declined further to 37.03 kilograms, reflecting continued environmental and market pressures. Overall, Romania's grapes production trends demonstrate the adaptability of its established viticulture industry. The dataset provides valuable insights into vineyard productivity, agricultural efficiency, climate impacts, and the long-term sustainability and competitiveness of Romania's grape production sector.
