Agriculture, forestry, and fishing value added as % of GDP NV.AGR.TOTL.ZS
Colombia's agriculture value added was 9.82% in 2025, ranked 68th globally. This represents a 5.7% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1965–2025.
Overview
Colombia's agriculture value added stood at 9.82% in 2025, a rise of +0.53% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 9.82% by 2025. Colombia ranked 68th globally.
Colombia’s agriculture value added has fallen sharply from an all‑time peak of 27.29 in 1965 to a trough of 5.39 in 2013, before modestly rebounding to 9.82 in 2025, placing the country 68th globally. Over the 61‑year series, the sector’s share of GDP has contracted by more than two‑thirds, reflecting structural shifts toward services and manufacturing, persistent land‑use constraints, and periodic climate‑related shocks that eroded productivity. The 2025 figure remains slightly below peers such as Guatemala (9.60) and Tunisia (9.53) and just under Samoa’s 9.85, underscoring that Colombia lags behind comparable emerging economies in leveraging agricultural potential. While recent policy initiatives aim to improve rural infrastructure and promote high‑value crops, sustained investment in research, climate adaptation and market access will be required to reverse the long‑term decline and lift the sector’s contribution in the coming decade.
