Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
From $1.1 trillion to $4.3 trillion was the growth in global production of crop, livestock and agricultural raw materials (at constant 2015 prices) (Fuglie, Morgan, S, & Jelliffe, 2024).
8% was the increase in global agricultural area to 4.76 billion hectares, or 32% of the world's land area (Fuglie, Morgan, S, & Jelliffe, 2024).
53% was the increase in agricultural production per capita between 1961 and 2020 (Fuglie, Morgan, S, & Jelliffe, 2024).
45% of agricultural production in 2020 corresponds to oilseed crops compared to 10% in 1960 (GAP, 2023).
0.54% was the annual growth of Total Factor Productivity (TFP) and represented only 25% of Argentina's production growth (GAP, 2023).
2.8% was the annual growth of input use in agricultural crop production in Argentina between 1991-2020 (GAP, 2023).
75% of output growth is associated with TFP, while increases in inputs, labor and capital accounted for only 25% (GAP, 2023).
4.0% is the expected annual growth rate in fertilizer consumption in Central American countries between 2011 and 2021 (GAP, 2023).
0.79% was the average annual growth of Total Factor Productivity (TFP) between 2011 and 2021, a decrease compared to the 2.0% per year recorded between 2001 and 2011 (GAP, 2023).
1.0% was the annual rate of decline in Total Factor Productivity (TFP) between 2011 and 2021, compared to 1.6% per year between 2001 and 2010 (GAP, 2023).
