Agriculture, forestry, and fishing value added as % of GDP NV.AGR.TOTL.ZS
Tunisia's agriculture value added was 9.53% in 2025, ranked 70th globally. This represents a 2.2% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1965–2025.
Overview
Tunisia's agriculture value added stood at 9.53% in 2025, a decline of +0.21% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 9.53% by 2025. Tunisia ranked 70th globally.
Tunisia’s agriculture value added has contracted sharply since the early 1970s, falling from an all‑time peak of 21.45 in 1972 to a trough of 6.85 in 2010, and reaching just 9.53 in 2025, which places the country 70th in the world. The 61‑year series shows a long‑term decline of more than 55 percent, reflecting structural shifts toward services and industry, persistent water scarcity, and limited access to modern inputs. By contrast, peer economies such as Guatemala (9.60) and Colombia (9.82) maintain slightly higher contributions, underscoring the relative weakness of Tunisia’s agrarian sector. The post‑2010 rebound to 9.53 suggests modest recovery, yet the level remains well below the 1970s peak and far from the regional average. Continued investment in irrigation, climate‑resilient crops, and value‑chain integration will be essential if Tunisia hopes to reverse the downward trajectory and raise agriculture’s share of GDP in the coming decade.
