This statistic reflects the limited role of agriculture in Tonga's overall economic framework, which is largely influenced by its geographic isolation and small land area. The economy is primarily driven by remittances from Tongan expatriates and tourism, which tend to overshadow agricultural outputs.

Factors contributing to the relatively low agriculture value added include challenges such as vulnerability to natural disasters, limited access to markets, and reliance on imported food. Despite these challenges, agriculture remains vital for subsistence and cultural practices among the Tongan population.

In 2007, Laos ranked 115th out of 188 countries in terms of agriculture value added as a share of GDP. The agriculture sector contributed approximately $1,089,023,973 to the nation’s economy, highlighting its significance within the overall economic structure.

The reliance on agriculture in Laos can be attributed to several factors, including the country’s geographical characteristics, with a significant portion of the population engaged in subsistence farming. Additionally, traditional farming practices and limited access to modern agricultural technology have sustained this sector's prominence in the economy.

Agriculture not only provides food security for the population but also employs a majority of the labor force, underscoring its critical role in rural development and poverty alleviation. As of this period, Laos was also focusing on diversifying its economy, aiming to reduce dependency on agriculture while enhancing productivity through sustainable practices.

Canada

In 2007, Canada ranked 19th out of 188 countries in terms of agriculture value added as a share of GDP. The agriculture sector contributed approximately $23,314,420,844 to the national economy, reflecting its significance in Canada's overall economic framework.

This statistic highlights the importance of agriculture in Canada, a country characterized by vast arable land and diverse climatic conditions conducive to various types of farming. Key factors contributing to this value include the country's rich natural resources, advanced agricultural technology, and strong export markets for commodities such as wheat, canola, and livestock.

Additionally, the Canadian agricultural sector benefits from government support, including subsidies and research initiatives aimed at improving productivity and sustainability. In comparison, agriculture's contribution to GDP in many developed nations is often lower, illustrating Canada's unique position within the global agricultural landscape.

Australia

In 2007, Australia ranked 20th out of 188 countries in terms of agriculture value added as a share of GDP. The agriculture sector contributed approximately $23,118,262,700 to the nation's gross domestic product, highlighting its significant role in the Australian economy.

This statistic reflects Australia's diverse agricultural landscape, which includes the production of wheat, beef, wool, and wine. Contributing factors to the strong agricultural performance include advanced farming technologies, efficient supply chains, and a favorable climate for various crops and livestock.

Moreover, agriculture in Australia not only supports the domestic economy but also plays a vital role in international trade, with Australia being one of the world's leading agricultural exporters. In 2007, the sector faced challenges such as climate variability and changing global market demands, which ultimately influenced its performance and position in the global economy.

Cabo Verde

Cabo Verde ranked 165th out of 188 countries in terms of agriculture value added as a share of GDP in the year 2007. The agriculture sector contributed approximately $100,598,719.7 to the country's GDP during this period, reflecting the limited role of agriculture in the overall economy.

This relatively low contribution is influenced by Cabo Verde's geographic and climatic conditions, which are not conducive to extensive agricultural production. The archipelago's dry climate and limited arable land have historically constrained agricultural output, leading to a reliance on food imports to meet domestic demand.

Additionally, Cabo Verde's economy is primarily driven by tourism and services, which overshadow agricultural activities. In 2007, the focus on tourism development and external investments further diminished the priority given to agriculture, although the government has recognized the need to enhance food security and promote sustainable agricultural practices.

Congo

In 2007, Congo ranked 142nd out of 188 countries in terms of agriculture value added as a share of GDP. The agriculture sector contributed approximately $431,521,665 to the national economy, reflecting a significant but limited role in the overall economic landscape.

The relatively low ranking and value can be attributed to several factors, including the country's reliance on oil and mineral exports, which dominate its economic structure. Additionally, persistent challenges such as poor infrastructure, limited access to markets, and political instability have hindered the growth of the agricultural sector.

Despite these challenges, agriculture remains a vital source of livelihood for a substantial portion of the population, and efforts to diversify the economy and improve agricultural productivity are essential for enhancing food security and economic stability in the region.

Botswana

Botswana ranked 155th out of 188 countries in terms of agriculture value added as a share of GDP in the year 2007. The agriculture sector contributed approximately $203,589,641.3 to the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), reflecting a limited reliance on agriculture compared to other sectors.

This low percentage can be attributed to Botswana's economic structure, which is heavily dominated by mining, particularly diamond extraction. Additionally, factors such as arid climate conditions, limited arable land, and urbanization have constrained agricultural productivity. Consequently, the economy has shifted towards services and mining, leading to a diminished role for agriculture.
