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

Thailand’s agriculture sector has fluctuated, starting at 12.5% in 1990 and stabilizing around 8.8% by 2022. The Asian Financial Crisis in the late 1990s temporarily increased agriculture’s GDP share, with a peak at 10.5% in 2010 reflecting recovery efforts. Since then, industrial growth and urbanization have led to a gradual decline in agriculture’s share.

The sector’s resilience during COVID-19, with a stable contribution around 8.7% in 2020-2022, highlights its critical role in food security and rural employment, underscoring agriculture’s enduring importance in Thailand.
