COMMENTARY     

Suchita Vemuri
Staff Editor

28th January 2005
Nations with the largest cultivated acreage under crops are not any longer primarily agricultural countries, with economies dependent on agricultural activity. It’s a tribute to technology that agriculture in the USA, which has the highest cultivated acreage, contributes only 2% to the country’s GDP. The proportionate contribution of agriculture to the GDP is higher in the poorer, underdeveloped countries.

While the value-add in agriculture arises from several factors, ranging from labor and mechanical technology to irrigation and biotechnology, it’s interesting that countries where labor comprises the largest input, show the maximum value-addition in agriculture.
