Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Linseed Oil Production per Capita — Linseed Oil Production per Capita refers to the annual quantity of linseed oil produced in a country divided by its total population, expressed in grams per person. In the Our World in Data database, this indicator is derived from food production statistics and presents the amount of linseed oil produced on a per capita basis for each country over the selected time period, enabling comparisons of production intensity across countries and years.
The data includes domestic production of linseed oil intended for food use, calculated on a per capita basis using national production volumes and population estimates. It covers annual country-level production data reported in the Our World in Data food dataset (primarily sourced from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization - FAO) and includes historical values for the selected years, allowing analysis of production trends and cross-country comparisons.
The data excludes imports, exports, domestic consumption, stocks, industrial or non-food uses, trade flows, prices, production value, and processing activities. It does not measure total flaxseed production, cultivation area, crop yield, or the economic value of linseed oil production. The indicator reflects only annual domestic linseed oil production per capita and may be subject to revisions based on updates to the underlying FAO and population datasets.
About this indicator
Linseed Oil Production per Capita — Linseed Oil Production per Capita refers to the annual quantity of linseed oil produced in a country divided by its total population, expressed in grams per person. In the Our World in Data database, this indicator is derived from food production statistics and presents the amount of linseed oil produced on a per capita basis for each country over the selected time period, enabling comparisons of production intensity across countries and years.
This indicator measures annual linseed oil production on a per-person basis, helping assess production intensity, agricultural efficiency, and the role of linseed-based products within Spain’s food and beverage sector.
Between 2015 and 2023, Spain’s linseed oil production per capita showed variations influenced by factors such as flaxseed cultivation trends, agricultural conditions, crop yields, processing capacity, and market requirements. The yearly fluctuations reflect changes in domestic production levels and provide an understanding of how agricultural factors affected linseed oil availability during the period.
This dataset supports analysis of Spain’s oilseed production landscape, vegetable oil supply trends, and the contribution of linseed oil to the broader agricultural and food industries. It offers valuable information for researchers, businesses, policymakers, and agricultural stakeholders studying production performance, supply patterns, and changes in per capita output.
The Spain linseed oil production per capita indicator helps evaluate historical production trends, annual variations, and agricultural productivity. By examining data from 2015 to 2023, stakeholders can gain insights into production changes, resource utilization, and the evolving role of linseed oil within Spain’s agricultural economy.
This macro indicator serves as a reference for studying Spain’s linseed oil production trends, per capita output changes, and oilseed sector performance. It supports data-driven research related to agricultural planning, food industry analysis, supply chain management, and comparative assessments with other European and global linseed oil-producing countries.
The data also highlights Spain’s position within the European linseed oil landscape by providing insights into production fluctuations, agricultural efficiency, and market developments. It helps identify opportunities for sustainable farming practices, improved production methods, and future growth potential in the linseed oil industry.
