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 per person, helping evaluate production intensity, agricultural efficiency, and the contribution of linseed-based products within Taiwan’s food and agricultural sector.
During the period from 2015 to 2023, Taiwan’s linseed oil production per capita showed fluctuations influenced by factors such as agricultural land availability, cultivation practices, crop productivity, processing capabilities, weather conditions, and market demand. The changes in yearly output reflect variations in domestic production activities and the evolving position of linseed oil within Taiwan’s agricultural supply chain.
This dataset supports analysis of Taiwan’s oilseed production landscape, vegetable oil supply trends, and the role of linseed oil within the broader food and beverage industry. It provides valuable information for researchers, businesses, policymakers, and agricultural stakeholders studying production performance, resource utilization, and historical trends in the linseed oil sector.
The Taiwan linseed oil production per capita indicator helps evaluate annual production fluctuations, agricultural productivity, and long-term output patterns. By examining data from 2015 to 2023, stakeholders can gain insights into changes in production levels, understand factors affecting linseed oil availability, and assess the development of the oilseed production ecosystem.
This macro indicator serves as a reference for studying Taiwan’s linseed oil production trends, per capita output changes, and agricultural sector developments. It supports data-driven research related to food industry analysis, supply chain evaluation, sustainable agricultural practices, and comparisons with other Asian and international linseed oil-producing countries.
The data also highlights Taiwan’s role within the regional linseed oil landscape by providing insights into production efficiency, historical output changes, and market evolution. It helps identify opportunities for improving agricultural practices, strengthening production capabilities, and understanding future growth potential in the linseed oil industry.
