Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Grapes Production per Capita — Grapes production per capita refers to the annual production of grapes allocated on a per-person basis, measured in kilograms per person. The indicator represents the average amount of grapes produced within a country relative to its population size during a given year. In Our World in Data, the metric is presented as country-level production data over time, allowing comparison of grape production intensity across countries and years. The data is derived from global food and agriculture statistics compiled from sources such as the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
The data includes the total production of grapes from agricultural activities within each country, converted into a per capita measure using the corresponding population estimates. It covers grapes produced for all major uses, including fresh consumption, processing into wine, juice, raisins, and other grape-based products, as classified under agricultural production statistics. The indicator includes annual production values reported for each country and year, adjusted by population to enable cross-country comparison.
The data excludes grape imports, exports, domestic consumption levels, and trade-related activities. It does not represent the amount of grapes available for consumers, as production may be used for processing, storage, animal feed, losses, or industrial purposes. The indicator also excludes production of other fruits and crops outside grapes and does not measure yield efficiency, cultivated area, farmer income, or market value. Differences may occur due to estimation methods, reporting gaps, or revisions in agricultural and population statistics.
About this indicator
Grapes Production per Capita — Grapes production per capita refers to the annual production of grapes allocated on a per-person basis, measured in kilograms per person. The indicator represents the average amount of grapes produced within a country relative to its population size during a given year. In Our World in Data, the metric is presented as country-level production data over time, allowing comparison of grape production intensity across countries and years. The data is derived from global food and agriculture statistics compiled from sources such as the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
According to validated Our World in Data statistics, the UAE's grapes production per capita declined from 4.08 grams in 2015 to 3.18 grams in 2024, indicating a gradual downward trend despite continued investment in agricultural innovation and climate-adapted farming solutions.
Production decreased from 4.08 grams in 2015 to 4.00 grams in 2016 and further to 3.70 grams in 2017. This decline reflected challenges associated with grape cultivation in an arid environment, including high temperatures, water availability constraints, and limited agricultural land. However, the UAE has continued to adopt modern farming approaches, including greenhouse cultivation, efficient irrigation systems, and controlled-environment agriculture to improve crop productivity.
Production showed a slight recovery in 2018, reaching 3.77 grams, before remaining relatively stable at 3.75 grams in 2019 and 3.69 grams in 2020. These trends indicate consistent but limited domestic grape production supported by improved resource management and agricultural technology adoption. Production gradually declined to 3.58 grams in 2021, 3.42 grams in 2022, and 3.29 grams in 2023, reflecting ongoing climatic challenges and adjustments within the agricultural sector.
By 2024, UAE grapes production per capita reached 3.18 grams, representing a moderate decline from the beginning of the period. Overall, the UAE's grape production trends highlight the challenges and opportunities of developing agriculture in desert conditions. The dataset provides valuable insights into vineyard productivity, climate adaptation strategies, irrigation efficiency, and sustainable agricultural development. Continued investment in advanced farming technologies and resource-efficient cultivation methods will remain important for improving the country's future grape production capacity.
