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

Indonesia’s agriculture sector contribution to GDP declined steadily from 21.5% in 1990 to 12.4% by 2022, reflecting a transition toward industry and services. The Asian Financial Crisis in 1997-1998 temporarily increased agriculture’s share as the country’s economy contracted, with agriculture remaining relatively stable compared to other sectors. This spike to 19.6% in 1999 underscored agriculture’s resilience during economic instability.

The sector’s share stabilized around 13% in the 2010s, with a slight rise to 13.7% in 2020, likely due to increased demand for food security during the COVID-19 pandemic. Indonesia’s agriculture, though reduced in GDP share, remains vital for employment and exports, with key products like palm oil and rubber being globally significant.
