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.
During the early period, production increased significantly from 12.14 kilograms in 2015 to 35.12 kilograms in 2016 before declining to 20.56 kilograms in 2017. Production recovered strongly in 2018, reaching 59.85 kilograms, which represented the highest level during the analysed period and reflected improved agricultural output during that year.
During the middle period, millet production experienced considerable fluctuations, declining to 24.87 kilograms in 2019 before increasing again to 40.99 kilograms in 2020. However, production decreased sharply to 18.74 kilograms in 2021, indicating the impact of adverse agricultural conditions, production variability, and changes in cultivation performance. A recovery followed in 2022, when production increased to 33.91 kilograms, demonstrating the resilience of millet cultivation despite challenging production conditions. These variations highlight the sensitivity of millet output to rainfall patterns, farming resources, and environmental factors.
In recent years, Sudan’s millet production per capita declined to 13.66 kilograms in 2023 before showing a slight recovery to 15.72 kilograms in 2024. Although the latest production level remained below the peak recorded in 2018, the recovery indicates continued millet cultivation and agricultural activity. Millet remains an important crop in Sudan due to its role in traditional farming systems and food security.
Overall, the dataset highlights the volatility and resilience of Sudan’s millet production per capita between 2015 and 2024. It is valuable for analysing long-term agricultural trends, benchmarking production performance, forecasting future millet output, and evaluating the influence of climate variability, farming practices, resource availability, and crop management strategies on millet production in Sudan.
