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.
According to validated Our World in Data (FAOSTAT) data, Singapore’s mushroom production per capita increased from 5.79 grams in 2015 to 34.60 grams in 2024, indicating substantial expansion over the decade. The growth reflects Singapore’s efforts to strengthen local agricultural capacity despite limited land availability.
Between 2015 and 2018, mushroom production per capita showed strong improvement, increasing from 5.79 grams in 2015 to 5.44 grams in 2016, 9.51 grams in 2017, and 19.09 grams in 2018. This growth was supported by investments in urban farming technologies, controlled-environment cultivation systems, and efforts to enhance domestic food production. Singapore’s focus on innovative agricultural solutions helped producers improve efficiency and increase output despite geographical constraints.
From 2019 to 2021, production continued to expand, rising from 23.09 grams in 2019 to 28.18 grams in 2020 and 30.62 grams in 2021. The sector benefited from increasing attention toward food security, sustainable agriculture, and local production initiatives. Advanced farming technologies, automation, and resource-efficient cultivation methods supported the continued development of mushroom production.
Between 2022 and 2024, mushroom production per capita remained relatively stable at higher levels, reaching 30.76 grams in 2022, 36.50 grams in 2023, and slightly declining to 34.60 grams in 2024. These changes reflect adjustments in production capacity, market demand, and operational conditions within Singapore’s agricultural sector.
Overall, Singapore’s mushroom production sector demonstrates strong growth potential through innovation, technology-driven farming, and sustainable agricultural practices. The mushroom production per capita indicator provides valuable insights into domestic production trends, food security initiatives, agricultural efficiency, and the evolving role of urban farming in Singapore’s food system.
