Japan's agriculture, forestry, and fishing, value added (current LCU) was 6.08 trillion in 2024, the latest year in the World Bank's World Development Indicators. That is up 16.1% from 5.23 trillion in 2014 (1.5% a year on average, compounded).

What the numbers say
In 2024, Japan's agriculture, forestry, and fishing, value added (current LCU) rose 19.5% on 2023 (from 5.08 trillion to 6.08 trillion).
Across the 29 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2023), the average change was −2% and a typical year strayed about 5% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 4.3 standard deviations above that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 19.5% in 2024 and the biggest yearly fall was 10.8% in 1995. 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 21% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
How it compares
In 2024, Japan had the 2nd highest value of the 29 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.

What this measures
Agriculture, forestry, and fishing corresponds to ISIC (Rev. 4) divisions 01-03 and includes the exploitation of vegetal and animal natural resources, comprising the activities of growing of crops, raising and breeding of animals, harvesting of timber and other plants, animals or animal products from a farm or their natural habitats.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 in current prices, meaning no adjustment has been made to account for price changes over time. This series is expressed in local currency units.
