What the numbers say
In 2024, Suriname's agriculture, forestry, and fishing, value added (constant LCU) fell 9% on 2023 (from 1 billion to 914.42 million).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2023), the average change was −0.3% and a typical year strayed about 9% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.0 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 31.4% in 2009 and the biggest yearly fall was 18.8% in 2019. 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 the straight-line trend is downward, about 115.47 million a year. A straight line explains 93% of the movement over 10 observed years.
