The Netherlands' Agriculture Value Added has experienced a significant decline over the past six decades, with a peak of 5.64 in 1969 and a trough of 1.57 in 2009. Since then, the indicator has shown a gradual recovery, reaching 1.73 in 2025, still ranking 151 globally. Compared to its peer countries, the Netherlands' agriculture sector lags behind Estonia, which has a higher value added of 1.79, and the European Union, with a value of 1.65. The steady decline in the sector's contribution to the country's GDP can be attributed to the shift towards a more service-oriented economy and increasing competition from other agricultural producers. However, with the European Union's focus on sustainable agriculture and climate-resilient farming practices, the Netherlands may benefit from its expertise and research in this area, potentially changing the trajectory of its agriculture sector in the coming years.
