Sweden Agriculture Value Added
Agriculture, forestry, and fishing value added as % of GDP NV.AGR.TOTL.ZS
Sweden's agriculture value added was 1.43% in 2025, ranked 154th globally. This represents a 0.7% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1980–2025.
Overview
Sweden's agriculture value added stood at 1.43% in 2025, a rise of +0.01% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 1.43% by 2025. Sweden ranked 154th globally.
Sweden’s agriculture value added has contracted sharply over the 46‑year series, falling from a peak of 4.66 in 2002 to a trough of 1.14 in 2009 before reaching 1.43 in 2025, which places the country 154th globally. The long‑term decline reflects structural shifts toward high‑value manufacturing and services, as well as the intensification of environmental regulations that have limited farm expansion. Compared with peers, Sweden’s 2025 figure is marginally higher than Slovenia’s 1.41 and slightly below Botswana’s 1.46, but remains well below the European Union average of 1.65 and France’s 1.40, underscoring the relative modesty of its agricultural sector within the region. The persistent downward trajectory suggests that without policy incentives for sustainable intensification or diversification into niche markets, the contribution of agriculture to Sweden’s GDP is likely to stay near its current low‑single‑digit level in the near future.
