Djibouti: Food, beverages and tobacco (% of value added in manufacturing)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2024, Djibouti's food, beverages and tobacco (% of value added in manufacturing) rose 4.66 percentage points on 2023 (from 73.33% to 77.99%).

Across the 9 yearly changes before that (2015 to 2023), the average change was +1.38 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 2.49 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.3 standard deviations above that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 4.66 percentage points in 2024 and the biggest yearly fall was 2.88 percentage points in 2018. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2015 to 2024 the straight-line trend is upward, about 1.74 percentage points a year. A straight line explains 92% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures

Manufacturing of food, beverages, and tobacco includes industries classified in ISIC (Rev. 3) divisions 15 and 16. Value added is the contribution to the economy by a producer or an industry or an institutional sector, which is estimated by the total value of output produced and deducting the total value of intermediate consumption of goods and services used to produce that output. This indicator is expressed as a percentage of value added in manufacturing which is the contribution to the economy by the manufacturing sector (ISIC Rev. 3 major division D).

Limitations: In establishing classifications systems compilers must define both the types of activities to be described and the units whose activities are to be reported. There are many possibilities, and the choices affect how the statistics can be interpreted and how useful they are in analyzing economic behavior. The ISIC emphasizes commonalities in the production process and is explicitly not intended to measure outputs (for which there is a newly developed Central Product Classification). Nevertheless, the ISIC views an activity as defined by "a process resulting in a homogeneous set of products."
