About this ranking
Gross value added of agriculture, forestry and fishing (ISIC Rev.
More on how it is measured
- 4 divisions 01 to 03) as a share of GDP: the value of output less intermediate consumption.
- World Bank national accounts data, compiled from national statistical offices and central banks and from OECD national accounts files.
For a few countries that publish value added at factor cost, the World Bank divides by total value added rather than GDP. Countries that rebase their national accounts can shift the share by several points.
Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the countries are compared on one definition. 6 countries with data in other periods have no value for 2017 and are left out rather than filled from another source. Equal values share a rank.
