Overview
Uruguay's agriculture value added stood at 5.91% in 2025, a decline of +0.51% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 5.91% by 2025. Uruguay ranked 95th globally.
Uruguay’s agriculture value added has fallen sharply from an all‑time peak of 14.63 in 1984 to 5.41 in the 2017 trough, reaching 5.91 in 2025 and ranking 95th worldwide. Over the 43‑year series the sector’s contribution to GDP is now roughly one‑sixth of its early‑1980s level, reflecting structural shifts toward services and manufacturing as well as recurring droughts that have constrained output. The latest figure places Uruguay marginally above Türkiye’s 5.86 and just below Brazil’s 5.83, while remaining below Moldova’s 6.04 and Suriname’s 6.23, underscoring its relatively modest performance among peers with comparable rankings. Persistent climate variability and limited diversification of export crops continue to pressure the sector, but ongoing investment in irrigation technology and value‑added processing could stabilize or modestly improve the upward trajectory in the coming decade.
