Overview
Mozambique's agriculture value added stood at 24.51% in 2025, a decline of +0.66% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 24.51% by 2025. Mozambique ranked 21st globally.
Mozambique’s agriculture value added, measured as a share of gross domestic product, fell from its all‑time peak of 33.94 % in 1991 to a trough of 18.23 % in 2001, before climbing back to 24.51 % in 2025, placing the country 21st worldwide. The decline in the 1990s coincided with civil‑war aftermath and severe droughts that eroded farm productivity, while the modest rebound after 2001 reflects gradual diversification, expanded irrigation schemes and increased smallholder participation. Mozambique’s 2025 figure is closely aligned with peer economies such as Uganda (24.59 %) and Rwanda (24.88 %), suggesting comparable structural constraints and opportunities in the region. Despite the recovery, the sector remains vulnerable to climate variability and global commodity price swings; sustained investment in resilient farming practices and value‑chain development will be essential to lift agriculture’s contribution further and alter the current upward trajectory.
