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, South Korea's grapes production per capita declined from 4.39 kilograms in 2015 to 3.62 kilograms in 2024, indicating a moderate downward trend despite continued investment in quality grape cultivation and advanced farming practices. The changes highlight the challenges faced by a relatively small vineyard sector operating within a highly developed agricultural economy.
Production increased slightly from 4.39 kilograms in 2015 to 4.47 kilograms in 2016 before declining to 3.70 kilograms in 2017 and 3.40 kilograms in 2018. These fluctuations were influenced by changing weather conditions, vineyard productivity variations, and adjustments in domestic grape cultivation. South Korea's major grape-growing regions, including areas in Gyeongsangbuk-do and Chungcheong regions, continued to support production through greenhouse cultivation, improved vineyard management, and adoption of advanced agricultural technologies.
Production continued declining to 3.21 kilograms in 2019 and 3.20 kilograms in 2020, reaching the lowest level during the observed period. These reductions were associated with climate variability, changing agricultural conditions, and challenges related to maintaining stable vineyard output. A gradual recovery began in 2021, when production increased to 3.24 kilograms, followed by 3.65 kilograms in 2022 and 3.78 kilograms in 2023, supported by improved cultivation practices and better production conditions.
By 2024, South Korea's grapes production per capita moderated slightly to 3.62 kilograms, reflecting ongoing adjustments within the sector. Overall, South Korea's grapes production trends demonstrate the resilience of a technology-driven viticulture industry focused on quality and efficiency. The dataset provides valuable insights into vineyard productivity, agricultural innovation, climate adaptation, and the future development of South Korea's grape production sector.
