Overview
North Macedonia's agriculture value added stood at 5.30% in 2025, a decline of +0.79% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 5.30% by 2025. North Macedonia ranked 100th globally.
North Macedonia’s agriculture value added has fallen sharply from its post‑transition high of 14.48 in 1992 to 5.30 in 2025, placing the country 100th out of 214 economies in the World Bank series. Over the 36‑year span the indicator declined by 9.18 percentage points, a reduction of roughly 63 % from the 1990 level of 7.16, and it now registers the lowest figure in the series, matching the all‑time trough. By contrast, peer economies such as Argentina (5.60) and Jordan (5.09) sit slightly above or below this level, illustrating that North Macedonia’s agricultural sector lags behind comparable middle‑income countries. The persistent downward trajectory reflects structural shifts toward services and industry, limited investment in modern farming techniques, and demographic pressures on rural labour. If policy reforms encourage mechanisation, improve market access and attract private capital, the long‑term trend could stabilise or even reverse, allowing agriculture to regain a modest share of gross domestic product.
