Overview
Haiti's agriculture employment stood at 46.61% in 2025, a decline of +0.10% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 46.56% by 2026. Haiti ranked 158th globally.
Haiti’s share of the labour force employed in agriculture stood at 46.61 percent in 2025, placing the country 158th globally and slightly above Timor‑Leste’s 46.02 percent but below Guinea’s 47.36 percent. Over the 35‑year series, agricultural employment has shown a gradual decline from an early‑1990s level of 53.18 percent, reaching its all‑time peak of 54.21 percent in 1994 and its lowest point of 45.17 percent in 2019. The downward trajectory reflects structural shifts toward services and informal non‑farm work, as well as recurrent shocks to the rural sector from natural disasters and limited access to modern inputs. Despite the modest rebound to 46.61 percent in 2025, the indicator remains well below the early‑1990s peak, suggesting that without targeted investments in agro‑industry, land reform and climate‑resilient practices, the share of agricultural employment is likely to continue its slow contraction.
