What the numbers say
In 2024, Tonga's agriculture, forestry, and fishing, value added (constant 2015 US$) fell 19.4% on 2023 (from US$81.45 million to US$65.62 million).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2023), the average change was +0.6% and a typical year strayed about 5.4% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 3.7 standard deviations below that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 18.7% in 2011 and the biggest yearly fall was 19.4% in 2024. 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 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains less than 1% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

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 is expressed in constant prices, meaning the series has been adjusted to account for price changes over time. The reference year for this adjustment is 2015. This indicator is expressed 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 gap-filled total.
