Share of domestic agricultural value produced by women (%)

This statistic measures the share of a country’s domestic agricultural production value that is produced by women, expressed as a percentage. It is a model-based estimate that combines information on who manages farms and who contributes labor (from agricultural censuses and household surveys) with production/value data, to attribute a portion of national agricultural output to women.

It’s a useful lens on food systems and gender equality because it links women’s roles in agriculture to economic value—not only participation. Differences across countries can reflect farm structure (smallholder vs. commercial), women’s access to land and inputs, and sector composition (e.g., livestock vs. crops).
