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 increased significantly from 17.09 grams in 2015 to 39.57 grams in 2016 and 39.61 grams in 2017, indicating improved production levels and stronger millet cultivation activity. Production remained relatively high in 2018 at 35.01 grams, supported by favourable agricultural conditions and consistent crop performance.
In 2019, millet production per capita reached 40.09 grams, representing the highest level during the analysed period. However, production declined sharply to 20.90 grams in 2020 and continued decreasing to 20.73 grams in 2021. This reduction reflects changes in cultivated areas, shifting crop priorities, and annual variations in agricultural production. The decline continued in 2022, when production fell to 14.61 grams, followed by a further decrease to 8.06 grams in 2023. These fluctuations highlight the sensitivity of millet production to farming decisions, environmental conditions, and changing agricultural resource allocation.
In 2024, millet production per capita showed a slight recovery to 8.48 grams, although it remained significantly below the peak levels recorded between 2016 and 2019. The recent trend indicates a lower production base compared with the earlier years, reflecting reduced millet cultivation intensity.
Overall, the dataset highlights the changing dynamics of Vietnam’s millet production per capita and the impact of agricultural adjustments, cultivation patterns, and production conditions. It is valuable for analysing long-term production trends, benchmarking agricultural performance, forecasting future millet output, and evaluating the influence of farming practices and environmental factors on millet production in Vietnam.
