Agriculture Sector Contribution to GDP in Belgium (1995-2022)

Belgium's agriculture sector contributed less than 1.5% to GDP from 1995 onwards, a reflection of its highly urbanized economy and focus on industries and services. A gradual decrease is observed from 1.3% in 1995 to 0.6% in 2022, with notable declines around 2008 due to the global financial crisis affecting commodity prices.

While agriculture remains essential for rural areas, Belgium's economy continues to prioritize high-tech and industrial sectors. The sector’s minimal GDP impact emphasizes Belgium’s alignment with other EU countries focusing on technology and services over primary industries.
