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 years, production remained relatively stable, increasing to 21.49 grams in 2016 before slightly declining to 21.16 grams in 2017. Production recovered to 20.58 grams in 2018, indicating a consistent production base despite minor year-to-year variations.
Between 2019 and 2021, millet production per capita maintained a gradual upward movement, reaching 21.04 grams in 2019, 21.24 grams in 2020, and 21.55 grams in 2021. This steady improvement reflects stable agricultural conditions and continued millet cultivation activity. The limited variation during this period indicates that Taiwan’s millet production remained relatively resilient against short-term changes in weather conditions and agricultural market factors. The crop’s smaller role within the overall agricultural sector also contributed to a more consistent production pattern.
In recent years, production continued to increase gradually, reaching 21.65 grams in 2022, 21.74 grams in 2023, and 21.83 grams in 2024, marking the highest level recorded during the analysed period. The continuous rise highlights improved production consistency and stable farming practices. Although millet remains a smaller crop compared with major agricultural commodities, its production trend shows steady performance over the decade.
Overall, the dataset highlights the stability and gradual growth of Taiwan’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 impact of cultivation practices, environmental conditions, and crop management strategies on millet production in Taiwan.
