Agriculture Sector Contribution to GDP in Germany (1991-2022)

The contribution of agriculture to Germany’s GDP remained consistently low throughout the period from 1991 to 2022, starting at 1.1% in 1991 and generally fluctuating around 1%. This stability reflects Germany's highly industrialized and diversified economy, where sectors like manufacturing and services play dominant roles. The slight decrease to 0.7% in 2005 and subsequent fluctuations between 0.7% and 0.9% indicate ongoing technological advancements and increased productivity in agriculture, which allowed for steady output even as its GDP share declined.

The occasional slight increases, such as to 0.9% in 2022, may be attributed to policy shifts or global events, like the COVID-19 pandemic, which raised awareness of food security and may have boosted agricultural demand temporarily.
