Agriculture, forestry, and fishing value added as % of GDP NV.AGR.TOTL.ZS
Estonia's agriculture value added was 1.79% in 2025, ranked 150th globally. This represents a 1.5% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1995–2025.
Overview
Estonia's agriculture value added stood at 1.79% in 2025, a rise of +0.03% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 1.79% by 2025. Estonia ranked 150th globally.
Estonia’s agriculture value added has contracted sharply since the late 1990s, falling from an all‑time peak of 5.05 in 1998 to 1.79 in 2025, a level that places the country 150th globally and slightly below the European Union average of 1.65. The downward trajectory accelerated after the 2023 trough of 1.72, reflecting structural shifts toward services and high‑tech manufacturing, as well as modest declines in farm size and labor input. Compared with the Slovak Republic, whose 2025 figure stands at 1.84, Estonia’s performance is marginally weaker, while the Netherlands remains considerably higher at 1.73 despite its larger agricultural base. Over the 31‑year coverage period, the sector’s contribution to GDP has more than halved, underscoring the limited role of traditional farming in the nation’s modern economy. Continued investment in agri‑technology and diversification into niche, high‑value products could stabilise the decline and potentially reverse the trend in the coming decade.
