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, Thailand’s mushroom production per capita increased from 15.66 grams in 2015 to 17.17 grams in 2024. Although production levels remained relatively low compared with major mushroom-producing countries, the overall increase indicates steady development of the mushroom cultivation sector within Thailand’s agricultural industry.
Between 2015 and 2018, mushroom production per capita showed continuous growth, increasing from 15.66 grams in 2015 to 16.71 grams in 2016, 17.76 grams in 2017, and 18.81 grams in 2018. This growth was supported by increasing farmer participation, favourable climatic conditions, and growing awareness of mushroom cultivation as an alternative agricultural activity. The adoption of improved farming techniques and small-scale production systems contributed to maintaining consistent output.
From 2019 to 2021, production continued to increase initially, rising from 19.88 grams in 2019 to 20.94 grams in 2020 before declining to 16.11 grams in 2021. The reduction reflected changes in production conditions, market demand, and operational challenges affecting cultivation activities. Despite these challenges, Thailand’s mushroom sector continued to benefit from domestic consumption and demand from food processing industries.
Between 2022 and 2024, production showed gradual recovery and stabilisation, increasing from 16.57 grams in 2022 to 16.91 grams in 2023 and 17.17 grams in 2024. The improvement indicates adaptation among producers through better cultivation practices, resource management, and market adjustments.
Overall, Thailand’s mushroom production sector demonstrates steady development potential within its agricultural landscape. The mushroom production per capita indicator provides valuable insights into production trends, agricultural diversification, productivity improvements, food demand patterns, and future opportunities for expanding mushroom cultivation in Thailand.
