Panama's Agriculture Value Added has exhibited significant fluctuations over the past five and a half decades, with a marked decline in recent years. The country's agricultural sector contributed 2.41% to its GDP in 2025, ranking 137th globally. This value is notably lower than its all-time peak of 10.83% in 1970, a year that marks the beginning of Panama's agricultural sector's downward trend. In comparison, countries with similar rankings in agriculture value added include Australia and the Russian Federation, both of which also experienced declines in their agricultural sectors.

Panama's agricultural sector is likely to continue its decline unless the country implements policies to reverse this trend, such as investing in agricultural technology and improving agricultural productivity.
