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

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2025, Sudan's agriculture, forestry, and fishing, value added (constant LCU) rose 4% on 2024 (from 5.26 billion to 5.47 billion).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +1.3% and a typical year strayed about 7.1% 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 32.8% in 1989 and the biggest yearly fall was 20.2% in 1990. 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 downward, about 200.89 million a year. A straight line explains 80% of the movement over 10 observed years.

This indicator is expressed in constant prices, meaning the series has been adjusted to account for price changes over time. The reference year for this adjustment varies by country. This series is expressed in local currency units.
