Synopsis (short abstract) The above analysis relies on combined information coming from the Macro-Indicators and Agricultural Capital stock databases both available on FAOSTAT under the Macro-Statistics domain. The Agricultural Capital Stock domain in FAOSTAT provides data on key indicators including Gross Fixed Capital Formation, Net and Gross Capital Stock, Consumption of Fixed Capital, Investment ratio, and the Gross Fixed Capital Formation Agriculture Orientation Index. The sector coverage is limited to the Agriculture, forestry, and fishery (ISIC Rev.3: A+B) activity group, though the corresponding variables in the total economy can be found on FAOSTAT domain entitled “Macro-Indicators”. The FAO Capital Stock Database is an analytical database. Whenever available, the database integrates official national accounts data harvested from UNSD or OECD. If the full set of official data is not available for a specific country, estimation procedures are employed to obtain estimates for the entire time series. Data on agricultural GFCF are available for over 200 countries.

    Over the last decade, increasing international fragmentation of production has affected both trade and production: these activities have become increasingly organized around what is commonly referred to as global value chains (GVCs). Increased fragmentation has brought with it challenges of tracing and measuring international divisions of labor, value-added, and so forth. In fact, conventional measures of trade only measure the gross value of exchanges between partners. They are not able to reveal how foreign producers, upstream in the value chain, are connected to final consumers at the end of the value chain. The aim of this paper is to use a globally consistent set of country-level data on GVC participation positioning in the agri-food sectors to distill global and regional trends in GVC participation between 1995-2015. It also focuses on five selected countries: Brazil, Germany, Ghana, Nepal, and Viet Nam - to illustrate how country-specific characteristics affect GVC participation trends as well as identify major differences across countries. This is the first time such a detailed trend analysis has been carried out for the agricultural and food sectors, with near-universal regional coverage, and covering two decades. The authors suggest that the inter-temporal and cross-country trends identified in this paper can contribute to derive insights into development pathways for low-and middle-income countries, as well as identify how key characteristics of countries will affect the way it uses international trade to boost domestic agricultural productivity growth.

    The FAOSTAT Macro Indicators database provides macroeconomic indicators at the country and regional levels relating to total economy; agriculture, forestry and fishing (AFF); manufacturing (MAN); agriculture sub-industry (agriculture) and manufacturing sub-industry (food, beverages and tobacco products). It releases time series for a selection of national accounts variables, including GDP, GFCF, VA, gross national income (GNI), agriculture sub-industry VA and gross output. The database also proposes additional indicators such as per capita GDP, year-on-year growth rates and measures of industries’ contribution to GDP. The database includes statistics of 218 countries and territories, including former countries. FAO compiles aggregate values at the regional and global levels. The time coverage is annual from 1970 to 2019. Data are available in both national currency and in USD, in current prices and in constant 2015 prices. The breakdown of economic activities follows the International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC). This brief analyses global and regional trends for the period 1970-2019.

    Gross domestic product is the most frequently quoted indicator of economic performance. It is a comprehensive measure of economic growth, as it measures the total value added generated within an economy over a specific time period. The FAOSTAT Macro Indicators data domain provides macroeconomic indicators at the country and regional levels relating to total economy; agriculture, forestry and fishing; manufacturing; agriculture sub-industry (agriculture) and manufacturing sub-industry (food and beverages products; tobacco products; food, beverages and tobacco products).According to the latest data analysed in this analytical brief, global gross domestic product expanded significantly over the past five decades, growing at an average annual rate of 3.0 percent from USD 21.6 trillion in 1974 to USD 92.6 trillion in 2023. This steady rise occurred despite a range of global disruptions, including recessions, a pandemic, and geopolitical tensions.
