Agriculture, forestry, and fishing value added as % of GDP NV.AGR.TOTL.ZS
Turkmenistan's agriculture value added was 11.79% in 2025, ranked 60th globally. This represents a 3.1% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1987–2025.
Overview
Turkmenistan's agriculture value added stood at 11.79% in 2025, a decline of +0.38% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 11.79% by 2025. Turkmenistan ranked 60th globally.
Turkmenistan’s agriculture value added fell from a post‑Soviet high of 33.33 in 1990 to a low of 8.30 in 2014, before modestly recovering to 11.79 in 2025, ranking 60th worldwide. The 39‑year series shows a long‑term contraction, driven by declining water availability, limited diversification and the gradual withdrawal of state subsidies after independence. Compared with peers of similar output, Turkmenistan’s 2025 figure is marginally above Fiji’s 11.80 and slightly above Honduras’s 11.49, yet remains below Indonesia’s 12.02, reflecting a modest but still constrained agricultural sector. The trough in 2014 coincided with a severe drought that reduced irrigated cropland yields, while the recent uptick aligns with modest investments in modern irrigation and a modest expansion of cotton and wheat areas. Continued improvement will likely depend on further water‑resource reforms, increased private‑sector participation and diversification into higher‑value crops, which could shift the downward trajectory toward a more sustainable growth path.
