Bangladesh saw a significant decline in agriculture's contribution to GDP, from 30.5% in 1990 to 11.2% by 2022. This shift reflects rapid industrialization and growth in the garment sector, alongside policies promoting economic diversification. The early 2000s marked a shift towards manufacturing, which continued to reduce agriculture’s share despite its vital role in rural employment.
Agriculture's steady decline showcases Bangladesh's economic transformation, although the sector remains crucial for food security and rural development. Recent stability around 12% highlights ongoing productivity improvements even as the country urbanizes.
