Synopsis (short abstract) The development flows to agriculture (DFA) dataset is an important component of agricultural investment financing statistics which also includes government expenditures on agriculture, foreign direct investment (FDI) in agriculture and credit to agriculture. The DFA database provides readily available data to enable analysis on aid flows and the purposes they serve, with an emphasis on agriculture, its components, and environmental protection. According to the latest data, in 2021, Africa received the largest portion of DFA (40.2 percent), followed by Asia (30.1 percent) and the Americas (12.1 percent).

According to the latest data, total development flows and development flows to agriculture reached their highest level, and grew the fastest, in 2020, as donors mobilized resources to offset some of the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Since 2012 FAO collects government expenditure on agriculture (GEA) data through a questionnaire sent annually to more than 190 countries. This brief analyzes global and regional trends for the period 2001-2021. According to the latest data, between 2001 and 2021, total government expenditures showed an increasing trend, from USD 11 trillion in 2001 to an all-time high of USD 35 trillion in 2021, driven mostly by the COVID-19 pandemic response and the unprecedented scale of fiscal stimulus packages implemented by countries.
