Portugal’s agriculture sector contribution declined from 4.8% in 1995 to around 2.1% in recent years, driven by growth in tourism and services. EU integration helped modernize Portugal’s economy, reducing agriculture’s relative share. The sector’s contribution stabilized around 2% in recent years, underscoring its role in rural areas and domestic food supply.
Temporary increases, such as in 2013 and 2020, may reflect favorable agricultural output and increased demand during the pandemic. Agriculture, though reduced in GDP share, remains an essential part of Portugal’s economy, particularly in wine and olive oil production.
