25 Countries Who Don't Invest Much In Agriculture

These countries have focused their productive capacities elsewhere, leaving behind agriculture for other sectors.....



Agriculture is the primary sector of many economies, as well as the one often making the best direct use of certain countries' natural resources. Typically, this sector is of higher importance in the developing world than it is in industrial and developed countries, though it is still important there nonetheless.


It is only a smaller component of “first-world” economies because such have much higher total revenues to begin with, so the agricultural sectors may in fact have higher nominal revenues, despite lower relative revenues, as compared to elsewhere in the "third world". 

In many developed countries, as agriculture has become more technologically advanced, it has subsequently required a smaller labor force as well, in spite of increasing total production levels.
