Agriculture, food and related industries contributed roughly $1.3 trillion to U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) in 2021, a 5.4% share. The output of U.S. farms contributed $164.7 billion of this total—about 0.7% of U.S. GDP.
Farming’s overall contribution to GDP is larger than 0.7% because sectors related to agriculture rely on inputs produced on farms, also adding value to the nation’s economy.
Sectors related to agriculture include food and beverage manufacturing; food and beverage stores; food services and eating or drinking places; textiles, apparel, and leather products; and forestry and fishing. — USDA Economic Research Service
