Agriculture, forestry and fishing (% of GDP)

What is this?

Share of GDP produced by farming, forestry and fishing.

How to read it

  • A falling share is normal as other sectors grow; it does not mean farming output fell.
  • Unit: % of GDP.

What does the data say?

Agriculture, forestry and fishing (% of GDP) (Mozambique) is 25.6 % of GDP (2025), 8.37 points lower than in 1991.

Over all 35 observations since 1991, the highest was 33.9 (1991) and the lowest 18.2 (2001).

Why does it matter?

  • Households: Most Mozambicans depend on farming for income and food.
  • Businesses: Harvests drive rural demand.
  • Government: Weather shocks hit growth and revenue.
  • Investors: Exposure to climate risk.
  • Mobile money: Rural transaction activity may follow harvest seasons. Potential, not proven: check against internal transaction data before acting on it.

What should I watch?
