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 declined from 77.72 grams in 2015 to 65.24 grams in 2016 and continued falling to 57.01 grams in 2017. This downward movement continued in 2018, when production reached 52.09 grams, indicating reduced millet cultivation activity and changes in crop allocation.
During the middle period, millet production showed a temporary recovery, increasing to 55.82 grams in 2019 and further improving to 66.34 grams in 2020. This increase reflected improved production conditions and short-term recovery in millet output. However, production declined again in 2021 to 49.83 grams and continued decreasing to 47.88 grams in 2022. These fluctuations highlight the influence of climatic conditions, agricultural decisions, harvested area changes, and shifting priorities among different crops within Turkey’s farming sector.
In recent years, millet production per capita continued its gradual decline, reaching 46.99 grams in 2023 and decreasing further to 43.14 grams in 2024. The latest figures indicate that production remained below the levels observed at the beginning of the study period, suggesting reduced production intensity over time. Despite the decline, millet continues to contribute to agricultural diversity and crop production systems in Turkey.
Overall, the dataset highlights the changing pattern of Turkey’s millet production per capita and the impact of cultivation adjustments, environmental conditions, and agricultural management practices. It is valuable for analysing long-term production trends, benchmarking agricultural performance, forecasting future millet output, and evaluating the influence of farming strategies, climate variability, and crop management decisions on millet production in Turkey.
