Overview
Nicaragua's agriculture value added stood at 14.62% in 2025, a rise of +0.21% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 14.62% by 2025. Nicaragua ranked 52nd globally.
Nicaragua’s agriculture value added has fallen from an all‑time peak of 21.41 in 1996 to a trough of 14.41 in 2024, reaching 14.62 in 2025 and ranking 52nd globally. Over the 32‑year series the sector’s contribution has declined by roughly 30 %, reflecting persistent challenges such as limited access to modern inputs, weather‑related shocks and modest investment in rural infrastructure. The 2025 figure is slightly above the 2024 trough yet remains lower than the early‑1990s level of 19.02, indicating that the downward trajectory has largely persisted despite occasional rebounds. Nicaragua’s performance is comparable to peers such as Albania (14.59) and Greenland (14.99), both of which hover near the same rank and face similar structural constraints. Continued diversification, climate‑resilient practices and enhanced market access could reverse the long‑term decline, while failure to address these issues may keep the sector anchored near its recent low.
