Lower over the period
Spain Mushroom Production per Capita moved from 4.69 Kilogram in 2015 to 3.38 Kilogram in 2024 (−27.9%), an average of −3.6% a year. The series high was 4.69 Kilogram in 2015 and the low 3.17 Kilogram in 2016.
What Spain Mushroom Production per Capita shows
Spain Mushroom Production per Capita was 3.38 Kilogram in 2024, down 1.2% on 2023. Spain’s mushroom production per capita showed a gradual decline over the period 2015–2024, reflecting changes in domestic mushroom cultivation output relative to population growth and agricultural production patterns. In 2015, Spain recorded the highest production level in the period at 4.69 kg per capita, indicating a strong contribution from mushroom cultivation within the country’s agricultural sector.
A 32.4% peak-to-trough swing
The gap between the series high (2015) and low (2016) is 1.52 Kilogram. The sharpest single-year move was −32.4% in 2016.
Ranks 8 of 32 countries covered
Among the 32 countries in this dataset, Spain ranks 8 for 2024, behind China (34.25 Kilogram) and Ireland (13.35 Kilogram). The global figure for 2024 is 6.32 Kilogram, so Spain is below it.

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.
However, production declined significantly in 2016 to 3.17 kg per capita, marking the lowest value during the observed period.
From 2017 onwards, Spain’s mushroom production per capita demonstrated moderate recovery and remained relatively stable. Production increased to 3.39 kg per capita in 2017 and continued rising to 3.53 kg per capita in 2018. In 2019, output reached 3.59 kg per capita, showing improved cultivation performance and steady production capacity. Despite a slight decrease in 2020 to 3.48 kg per capita, Spain maintained a stable production level compared with previous years.
Between 2021 and 2024, mushroom production per capita remained within a narrow range, fluctuating between 3.38 and 3.49 kg per capita. Production reached 3.43 kg per capita in 2021, increased slightly to 3.49 kg per capita in 2022, and then declined marginally to 3.42 kg per capita in 2023 and 3.38 kg per capita in 2024. This indicates a relatively stable mushroom production industry with limited year-to-year variation.
Overall, Spain’s mushroom production per capita decreased by approximately 28% between 2015 and 2024, but the sector maintained consistent output levels after 2017. The trend highlights Spain’s continued importance in mushroom cultivation, supported by established agricultural practices, controlled-environment farming, and domestic production capacity. The stability observed in recent years suggests a mature mushroom production market with steady supply conditions rather than significant expansion or contraction.
