Overview
Israel's agriculture value added stood at 1.22% in 2025, a decline of +0.06% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 1.22% by 2025. Israel ranked 160th globally.
Israel’s agriculture value added has fallen markedly since the early 2000s, slipping from 2.04 in 1995 to a 2025 figure of 1.22, which places the country at 160th in the world. The sector reached its all‑time peak of 2.14 in 2009, before descending to a trough of 1.16 in 2022, indicating a persistent downward trajectory over the past decade. By contrast, Austria recorded a higher value added of 1.31 in the same year, while Libya’s 1.21 is only marginally above Israel’s current level, underscoring the relative weakness of Israeli agricultural output among comparable economies. The decline reflects structural constraints such as limited arable land, water scarcity, and a shift toward high‑technology and service sectors that have reduced the share of agriculture in GDP. Continued investment in advanced irrigation, precision farming and agritech could stabilize or modestly reverse the trend, but without such interventions the value added is likely to remain near the lower end of the peer group.
