Overview
Pakistan's agriculture value added stood at 24.17% in 2025, a rise of +0.42% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 24.17% by 2025. Pakistan ranked 22nd globally.
Pakistan's agriculture value added has experienced significant fluctuations over the past 66 years, with an all-time peak of 43.19 in 1960 and a trough of 19.94 in 2007. This decline was largely attributed to factors such as droughts, floods, and a decline in agricultural productivity. In recent years, the sector has shown a moderate recovery, with the value added reaching 24.17 in 2025, still below the global average. Compared to its peer countries, Pakistan's agriculture value added is closely matched by Mozambique, which reported a value of 24.51 in 2025. This stagnation in the sector may be attributed to the country's limited investment in agricultural modernization and irrigation infrastructure. A significant increase in investment in these areas could potentially alter the trajectory of Pakistan's agriculture value added, potentially leading to a resurgence in the sector's growth.
