Moldova: Agriculture, forestry, and fishing, value added (constant LCU)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2025, Moldova's agriculture, forestry, and fishing, value added (constant LCU) rose 10.7% on 2024 (from 18.72 billion to 20.73 billion).

Across the 29 yearly changes before that (1996 to 2024), the average change was +2.3% and a typical year strayed about 20.8% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.4 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 50.3% in 2021 and the biggest yearly fall was 34.9% in 2007. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2016 to 2025 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 11% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
