World Bank data measures agricultural productivity as value added per worker in constant 2010 US dollars. The indicator aggregates output from crop cultivation, livestock, forestry, hunting, and fishing, net of intermediate inputs. It originates from the World Development Indicators (WDI) Database Archives.
Use Cases
- Analyze trends in agricultural labor productivity over time using the constant-dollar value-added metric.
- Benchmark national agricultural efficiency against global or regional peers using the per-worker output value.
- Model relationships between agricultural productivity and other economic or policy variables using the standardized value-added figures.
- Assess the contribution of sub-sectors like forestry and fishing to overall agricultural labor output.
Strengths
- Data is standardized in constant 2010 US dollars, enabling cross-year and cross-country comparisons.
- Indicator provides a consolidated measure of output from multiple agricultural sub-sectors.
Limitations
- Specific row count, time range, and geographic coverage are unknown, limiting assessment of completeness.
- The underlying data collection and aggregation methodology for each country is not detailed.
