Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Soybean Production per Capita — Soybean production per capita refers to the annual production of soybeans divided by the total population of a country or region, measured in grams per person. The indicator represents the average amount of soybean output available per individual based on domestic agricultural production during a specific year. In Our World in Data, the indicator is presented as a country-level time series, allowing comparisons of soybean production performance across different countries and periods. The dataset is compiled from agricultural production statistics and population data to calculate per capita production values.
The data includes the total production of soybeans from agricultural activities, expressed on a per capita basis by dividing production volumes by the corresponding population figures. It covers soybean output used for various purposes, including food products, animal feed, vegetable oil production, and industrial applications. The indicator includes annual production trends across countries and regions, enabling analysis of changes in cultivation, productivity, and agricultural output relative to population size. The dataset supports comparisons of soybean production capacity, regional agricultural performance, and long-term production trends.
The data excludes soybean imports, exports, consumption, processing volumes, and stock levels. It does not measure individual dietary availability, market supply, or actual soybean usage within a country. The indicator does not account for differences in farming practices, production costs, land use efficiency, or trade dependency. It also does not represent nutritional intake or food security conditions, as it only reflects domestic soybean production relative to population size. Variations may occur due to differences in agricultural reporting methods, estimation procedures, and data availability across countries.
About this indicator
Soybean Production per Capita — Soybean production per capita refers to the annual production of soybeans divided by the total population of a country or region, measured in grams per person. The indicator represents the average amount of soybean output available per individual based on domestic agricultural production during a specific year. In Our World in Data, the indicator is presented as a country-level time series, allowing comparisons of soybean production performance across different countries and periods. The dataset is compiled from agricultural production statistics and population data to calculate per capita production values.
Soybeans are an important agricultural commodity in Turkey, supporting livestock feed, food processing, vegetable oil production, and the growing demand for plant-based protein products. Based on the available data, soybean production per capita increased slightly from 2.01 kilograms in 2015 to 2.06 kilograms in 2024, indicating overall stability despite variations throughout the period.
Production per capita remained almost unchanged during the early years, increasing marginally from 2.01 kilograms in 2015 to 2.02 kilograms in 2016. However, the indicator declined to 1.69 kilograms in 2017 and decreased further to 1.66 kilograms in 2018, reflecting weaker production performance and possible challenges related to agricultural conditions, crop productivity, or changes in cultivated area. A moderate recovery followed in 2019, when production increased to 1.76 kilograms, and continued improvement was observed in 2020 with a rise to 1.80 kilograms.
Soybean production per capita increased further to 2.10 kilograms in 2021, the highest level recorded during the period. This improvement may have been supported by favourable production conditions, improved farming practices, and increased agricultural productivity. However, production declined to 1.78 kilograms in 2022 and decreased further to 1.58 kilograms in 2023, indicating renewed pressure on domestic soybean output.
In 2024, soybean production per capita recovered strongly to 2.06 kilograms, returning close to the earlier high levels and exceeding the 2015 value. The recovery indicates resilience within Turkey’s soybean sector despite year-to-year fluctuations.
Overall, the dataset highlights the stability and adaptive capacity of Turkey’s soybean production. It is valuable for analysing agricultural trends, monitoring per capita output, assessing production performance, supporting market forecasting, and evaluating the influence of climate conditions, productivity, cultivation patterns, and domestic demand on soybean production.
