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

Peru’s agriculture sector contribution to GDP hovered around 7-8% from 1991 to 2022, with minor fluctuations. The high point of 8.5% in 1996 reflects favorable conditions and strong export performance, especially in crops like coffee and asparagus. However, as mining and services grew, agriculture’s share declined slightly, settling around 7% in recent years.

The slight rise to 7.8% in 2022 may be due to increased demand for food security amid global disruptions. Agriculture remains crucial in Peru’s economy, providing employment and export revenue, particularly for high-value crops.
