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 <a href=http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/eco_gdp_com_by_sec_agr&int=-1>contribution of agriculture to the GDP</a> is higher in the poorer, underdeveloped countries.

While the <a href=http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/agr_val_add&int=-1>value-add in agriculture</a> 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.
