Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2024, Israel's agriculture, forestry, and fishing, value added (constant LCU) fell 16.9% on 2023 (from 22.41 billion to 18.62 billion).

Across the 28 yearly changes before that (1996 to 2023), the average change was +2.1% and a typical year strayed about 6.7% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 2.8 standard deviations below that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 17.6% in 2009 and the biggest yearly fall was 16.9% in 2024. 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 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 10% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
