Algeria’s agriculture value added rose to 14.5% of GDP in 2025.

Neither way is good in itself. A higher share can come from a stronger farm sector or from weaker output elsewhere, and a lower share can come from growth in other sectors, so the direction alone carries no verdict. The latest figure, for 2025, is 14.5% of GDP, up from 14% of GDP a year earlier, a rise of 0.55 percentage points. Since 2016 the share has ranged from a low of 10.6% of GDP in 2022 to a high of 14.5% of GDP, so the latest reading sits at the top of its range.

Why it matters. At 14.5% of GDP, farming, forestry and fishing make up a sizeable part of Algeria's output, so harvests and rainfall carry real weight for rural incomes and domestic food supply. A larger agricultural share can also mean less reliance on imported food in a year of good yields. The next annual figure will show whether the share holds near this high.
