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.
According to validated Our World in Data (FAOSTAT) data, Sweden’s mushroom production per capita experienced fluctuations throughout the decade, with output declining moderately by 2024 compared with the beginning of the period.
Between 2015 and 2018, mushroom production per capita remained comparatively stable, supported by Sweden’s controlled-environment cultivation systems, modern agricultural technologies, and increasing consumer interest in healthy and sustainable food products. The country’s focus on environmentally responsible farming practices and efficient resource management helped maintain consistent production levels during this period.
From 2019 to 2021, production faced challenges due to changing market conditions, pandemic-related disruptions, reduced foodservice demand, and rising operational expenses. Although mushroom cultivation benefited from controlled growing environments that allowed year-round production, producers experienced pressure from higher input costs and competition from imported mushroom supplies.
Between 2022 and 2024, production showed limited recovery but remained below earlier levels. The sector adapted through improved cultivation efficiency, automation, and sustainable production methods. However, factors such as energy prices, labour availability, and market demand continued to influence overall output performance.
Overall, Sweden’s mushroom production sector represents a stable but modest component of the country’s agricultural industry. Despite a gradual decline in per capita production, mushrooms continue to support Sweden’s specialty food segment due to growing consumer demand for nutritious and sustainable products. The mushroom production per capita indicator provides valuable insights into agricultural productivity, market trends, sustainability practices, and future opportunities within Sweden’s food production landscape.
