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

The agriculture sector in the Philippines experienced a steady decline in GDP share from 19.2% in 1990 to 9.5% by 2022. This decline reflects the country’s shift towards services and manufacturing, particularly in business process outsourcing. Despite the gradual decrease, agriculture remains important for rural employment and food production.

The temporary rise to 10.2% in 2020 highlights the sector's critical role during the COVID-19 pandemic, emphasizing food security. While agriculture’s GDP share has decreased, it continues to support rural livelihoods and is essential to national food supply.
