Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Millet Production per Capita — Millet production per capita refers to the annual production quantity of millet divided by the total population of a country, measured in grams or kilograms per person. In Our World in Data, the indicator presents country-level millet production trends over time, with values reported for each year in the selected period. The dataset provides a comparative view of millet output relative to population size, helping analyse agricultural productivity, production intensity, and changes in millet cultivation across countries.
The data includes annual millet production volumes converted into per capita values based on national population estimates. It covers millet output from agricultural production systems, including different millet varieties classified within global food production statistics. Our World in Data compiles the indicator using data from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), providing historical time-series information for countries and regions. The indicator includes country-level production measurements and allows comparisons of millet production performance across different geographic areas and time periods.
The data excludes millet consumption, imports, exports, stock levels, prices, and trade-related activities. It does not measure nutritional intake, food availability, processing losses, or domestic usage patterns. The indicator also does not represent total agricultural productivity or overall cereal production performance, as it focuses only on millet production per person. Differences may occur due to revisions in agricultural statistics, population estimates, reporting methodologies, and variations in data collection practices between countries.
About this indicator
Millet Production per Capita — Millet production per capita refers to the annual production quantity of millet divided by the total population of a country, measured in grams or kilograms per person. In Our World in Data, the indicator presents country-level millet production trends over time, with values reported for each year in the selected period. The dataset provides a comparative view of millet output relative to population size, helping analyse agricultural productivity, production intensity, and changes in millet cultivation across countries.
Validated Our World in Data data shows millet production per capita increased from 12.85 grams in 2015 to 32.86 grams in 2017, representing steady growth during the initial years of the analysed period. This increase indicates improved millet cultivation activity and greater production compared with the starting year. However, production data remained limited, highlighting the relatively small role of millet within Spain’s broader agricultural production landscape.
During the middle of the period, millet production per capita maintained an upward movement, reaching 28.29 grams in 2016 before rising further to 32.86 grams in 2017. The available data indicates that Spain experienced moderate production levels during these years, supported by agricultural conditions and crop management practices. However, production values after 2017 were not recorded in the dataset, indicating a lack of reported millet production per capita values for the remaining years. This absence limits the ability to assess continuous year-on-year changes but reflects the relatively minor scale of millet cultivation in Spain.
The available production figures suggest that millet remains a niche crop within Spain’s agricultural system, with output levels significantly lower compared with major cereal crops. Limited cultivation areas, changing crop preferences, and agricultural resource allocation may influence the availability and consistency of millet production data. Despite the limited dataset, the recorded increase between 2015 and 2017 demonstrates some growth potential within specific production areas.
Overall, the dataset highlights the small-scale nature and limited availability of Spain’s millet production per capita data. It provides valuable insights for analysing agricultural trends, benchmarking crop performance, understanding production variability, and evaluating the influence of cultivation practices, environmental factors, and crop diversification strategies on millet production in Spain.
