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, Saudi Arabia's grapes production per capita increased from 1.42 kilograms in 2015 to 3.55 kilograms in 2024, demonstrating significant growth despite the country's challenging climatic conditions. The trend highlights advancements in agricultural technology, water management practices, and vineyard adaptation strategies.
Production remained relatively stable during the initial years, declining slightly from 1.42 kilograms in 2015 to 1.35 kilograms in 2016 before increasing to 1.45 kilograms in 2017 and 1.48 kilograms in 2018. These changes reflected gradual improvements in vineyard productivity, adoption of modern cultivation methods, and increased focus on domestic agricultural production. Saudi Arabia's grape cultivation has benefited from greenhouse techniques, efficient irrigation systems, and improved crop management practices designed for arid environments.
A significant increase occurred in 2019, when grapes production per capita reached 3.86 kilograms, representing the highest level during the observed period. Production remained strong at 3.28 kilograms in 2020, 3.40 kilograms in 2021, and 3.43 kilograms in 2022, supported by continued investment in agricultural infrastructure and improved production efficiency. Production increased further to 3.66 kilograms in 2023 before slightly declining to 3.55 kilograms in 2024.
Overall, Saudi Arabia's grapes production trends demonstrate the potential of technology-driven agriculture in overcoming environmental limitations. The dataset provides valuable insights into vineyard productivity, irrigation efficiency, agricultural modernization, and sustainable farming practices. Continued investment in water-efficient technologies, climate-adapted cultivation, and agricultural innovation is expected to support the long-term growth of Saudi Arabia's grape production sector.
