Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Wool Production per Capita — Wool production per capita refers to the annual quantity of wool produced within a country divided by its population, providing a population-adjusted measure of wool production. The indicator is presented in Our World in Data as a country-level time series, allowing comparisons of wool production per person across countries and years. The selected dataset covers the period from 2015 to 2024.
The data includes wool production and population figures used to calculate wool production per capita for individual countries. The indicator covers wool classified as an agricultural product and reflects domestic production relative to the population of each country. The dataset includes annual observations for the selected countries and period and can be used to compare population-adjusted wool output across different geographic regions.
The data excludes wool imports, exports, trade values, prices, revenues, and domestic consumption. It does not measure the value of wool production or distinguish between wool produced for different end uses. The indicator also does not directly measure sheep populations, wool yields per animal, processing activity, or downstream textile production. Differences in production per capita may reflect changes in wool output, population, or both.
About this indicator
Wool Production per Capita — Wool production per capita refers to the annual quantity of wool produced within a country divided by its population, providing a population-adjusted measure of wool production. The indicator is presented in Our World in Data as a country-level time series, allowing comparisons of wool production per person across countries and years. The selected dataset covers the period from 2015 to 2024.
The indicator stood at 739.82 units per person in 2015 before declining to 712.39 in 2016. It then increased sharply to 762.06 in 2017 and 786.91 in 2018. The upward movement continued in 2019, when production per capita reached 826.96 units per person, followed by a further increase to 926.38 in 2020.
Turkey recorded another substantial rise in 2021, when wool production per capita reached 991.11 units per person, representing the highest reported level in the supplied data. The indicator then declined to 975.03 in 2022 and 918.92 in 2023. However, it recovered to 963.37 units per person in 2024, indicating renewed growth after the previous year’s decline.
From 739.82 units per person in 2015 to 963.37 in 2024, Turkey’s wool production per capita increased by approximately 30.2%. Despite fluctuations, the overall movement indicates a significant strengthening in population-adjusted wool production. The increase was particularly pronounced between 2018 and 2021, when the indicator rose substantially.
Wool production per capita provides a useful measure for evaluating agricultural output while accounting for population differences. Turkey’s figures highlight a comparatively strong population-adjusted wool production profile and significant changes over the period. The indicator also supports comparisons with other Asian and European agricultural markets. Overall, the data show that Turkey experienced substantial growth in wool production per capita, despite periodic declines and fluctuations during the ten-year period.
