Russian Federation: Agriculture, forestry, and fishing, value added (annual % growth)

Key figures

Over five years it is up 2.17 percentage points from 0.18% in 2020. Since 1991 it is up 6.04 percentage points from -3.7% in 1991.

What the numbers say

In 2025, Russian Federation's agriculture, forestry, and fishing, value added (annual % growth) rose 5.79 percentage points on 2024 (from -3.45% to 2.34%).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +0.29 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 10.61 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.5 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 35.9 percentage points in 1999 and the biggest yearly fall was 21.3 percentage points in 1998. 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 3% 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.

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 denotes the percentage change over each previous year of the constant price (base year 2015) series in United States dollars.

Limitations: Among the difficulties faced by compilers of national accounts is the extent of unreported economic activity in the informal or secondary economy. In developing countries a large share of agricultural output is either not exchanged (because it is consumed within the household) or not exchanged for money. Agricultural production often must be estimated indirectly, using a combination of methods involving estimates of inputs, yields, and area under cultivation. This approach sometimes leads to crude approximations that can differ from the true values over time and across crops for reasons other than climate conditions or farming techniques.

Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
