Agriculture Sector Contribution to GDP in France (1990-2022)

France’s agriculture sector has shown a gradual decline in its share of GDP, from 3.1% in 1990 to about 1.9% in 2022. This reduction aligns with France’s transition to a highly developed, service-based economy. Notable declines in the mid-2000s coincide with EU agricultural reforms that encouraged modernization and efficiency in farming, reducing the sector's economic weight.

Despite these trends, agriculture remains a significant part of France’s identity and export market, particularly for wine, cheese, and other high-value products. The sector’s steady share around 1.6% in recent years highlights its continued relevance in France’s economy.
