Chart Details
Data Source: World Development Indicators.
Timeframe: 1990-2022
Country: South Africa
Published date: 2024
Note: Agriculture (% of GDP), according to World Development Indicators, measures the contribution of the agricultural sector to a country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This metric reflects the economic significance of activities such as farming, forestry, and fishing, indicating the value generated by agriculture relative to the overall economy.
Key Takeaways
South Africa’s agriculture sector has contributed modestly to GDP, declining from 3.8% in 1990 to around 2.8% in 2022. The sector’s reduced share reflects South Africa’s focus on mining, industry, and services. Periodic fluctuations, such as an increase to 3.0% in 2002, reflect the sector’s response to favorable commodity prices and demand.

The slight rise to 2.8% in recent years underscores agriculture’s stability in South Africa’s economy, with the sector essential for rural employment and food security despite a minimal GDP share.
