Niger: Agriculture, forestry, and fishing, value added (current LCU)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2025, Niger's agriculture, forestry, and fishing, value added (current LCU) rose 4.5% on 2024 (from 5.74 trillion to 5.99 trillion).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +10.4% and a typical year strayed about 10.9% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.5 standard deviations below 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 37.4% in 1977 and the biggest yearly fall was 28.2% in 1975. 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 the straight-line trend is upward, about 420.7 billion a year. A straight line explains 89% of the movement over 10 observed years.
