Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Mushroom Production per Capita — Mushroom production per capita refers to the annual quantity of mushrooms produced within a country, measured on a per person basis. The indicator is expressed in grams per capita (or kilograms per capita where applicable) and represents the average mushroom production volume relative to the country’s population size. In Our World in Data, the indicator is based on FAOSTAT agricultural production data and is presented as a country-level time series, allowing comparison of mushroom production trends across countries and years between 2015 and 2024.
The data includes the annual production of mushrooms reported under FAOSTAT agricultural production statistics, covering cultivated mushroom output measured by weight. The indicator includes country-level mushroom production values adjusted according to population size to calculate per capita production. The dataset captures changes in agricultural production capacity, cultivation practices, and output trends over time. It supports analysis of mushroom industry development, agricultural productivity, food supply trends, and comparisons between different countries and regions.
The data excludes mushroom consumption, imports, exports, and trade-related activities, as it measures only domestic production. It does not represent individual consumption levels, market availability, retail sales, or nutritional intake. The indicator does not include wild mushroom collection unless recorded within official agricultural production statistics. It also does not measure production value, revenue, cultivation costs, or farm-level productivity. Differences may occur due to variations in national reporting methods, estimation procedures, and statistical coverage used by FAOSTAT.
About this indicator
Mushroom Production per Capita — Mushroom production per capita refers to the annual quantity of mushrooms produced within a country, measured on a per person basis. The indicator is expressed in grams per capita (or kilograms per capita where applicable) and represents the average mushroom production volume relative to the country’s population size. In Our World in Data, the indicator is based on FAOSTAT agricultural production data and is presented as a country-level time series, allowing comparison of mushroom production trends across countries and years between 2015 and 2024.
According to validated Our World in Data (FAOSTAT) data, Vietnam’s mushroom production per capita increased from 242.96 grams in 2015 to 256.72 grams in 2024, indicating steady development within the country’s mushroom production sector. The growth reflects improvements in cultivation practices, increasing awareness among farmers, and the growing role of mushrooms in Vietnam’s agricultural landscape.
Between 2015 and 2018, mushroom production per capita remained relatively stable with gradual improvement, increasing from 242.96 grams in 2015 to 244.12 grams in 2016, 244.61 grams in 2017, and 244.91 grams in 2018. This period reflected consistent production capacity supported by favourable agricultural conditions, availability of cultivation resources, and increasing consumer interest in mushrooms as a healthy food source. The adoption of improved farming techniques helped maintain stable output levels.
From 2019 to 2021, Vietnam recorded continued growth in mushroom production per capita, rising from 246.68 grams in 2019 to 248.16 grams in 2020 and 254.81 grams in 2021. The sector demonstrated resilience during this period through the use of efficient cultivation methods and adaptation to changing market conditions. Rising domestic consumption and demand from food processing industries supported production expansion.
Between 2022 and 2024, production remained stable with slight fluctuations, recording 252.55 grams in 2022, 254.60 grams in 2023, and increasing to 256.72 grams in 2024. The continued growth reflects improvements in production efficiency, sustainable cultivation practices, and increasing market acceptance of mushrooms.
Overall, Vietnam’s mushroom production sector demonstrates steady development and growing importance within the agricultural economy. The mushroom production per capita indicator provides valuable insights into production trends, agricultural productivity, market growth, food demand patterns, and future opportunities for mushroom cultivation in Vietnam.
