Agriculture, forestry, and fishing value added as % of GDP NV.AGR.TOTL.ZS
Myanmar's agriculture value added was 21.25% in 2025, ranked 34th globally. This represents a 2.0% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 2000–2025.
Overview
Myanmar's agriculture value added stood at 21.25% in 2025, a rise of +0.42% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 21.25% by 2025. Myanmar ranked 34th globally.
Myanmar’s agriculture value added has fallen sharply from its 2000 peak of 57.24 to a 2025 level of 21.25, ranking 34th globally and placing it just above Nepal’s 21.26 and slightly above Gambia’s 21.08. The all‑time trough of 20.83 recorded in 2024 underscores a persistent downward trajectory over the 26‑year series, reflecting the combined impact of recurrent political instability, land‑use constraints and limited investment in modern farming inputs. While the sector still contributes a sizable share of GDP compared with many low‑income economies, the loss of more than half its value added since the turn of the millennium signals structural weaknesses that have not been offset by recent policy reforms. Continued improvements in rural infrastructure, access to credit and climate‑resilient technologies will be essential to reverse the decline; without such interventions, the downward trend is likely to persist in the near term.
