The contribution of agriculture to GDP varies widely by country. In heavily industrialized countries, agriculture may account for only a small percentage of GDP while in less developed countries it can be a major contributor. In the United States, agriculture accounts for about 2% of GDP.<\/p>\n

Agricultural output accounts for around 10% of global GDP, though the sector employs over a billion people worldwide, or around 30% of the global workforce. In developing countries, agriculture accounts for a much higher share of GDP and employment.<\/p>\n
