This article provides a brief description of agriculture in the European Neighbourhood Policy - East (ENP-E) countries. It focuses on many aspects of agriculture in ENP countries, such as its contribution to the economy (the gross value added of the agricultural sector), the Utilised Agriculture Area (UUA), the cereal production, the livestock population, dairy cows and slaughtered production in Armenia (AM), Azerbaijan (AZ), Belarus (BY), Georgia (GE), Moldova (MD) and Ukraine (UA).

Main statistical findings

The share of the agricultural sector in both the GVA and employment decreased in ENP-East countries

During the last decade, the gross value added (GVA) and employment in the agricultural sector declined in nearly all ENP-East countries.

The agricultural sectors of each of the ENP-East countries remain significant; agricultural activities continue to generate a large — if shrinking — share of the growing output of the regions’ economies and to provide employment for millions. The output of the agricultural sector — measured in terms of gross value added — contributed significantly more to the national economies of the ENP-East countries than was the case for the EU-27 (1.7 % in 2011): the share ranged from 5.7 % in Azerbaijan (estimation) to 22.1 % in Armenia – (see Table 1).

In 2011, employment in agricultural activities represented a little over 10 % of all employment in Belarus — the lowest share among the ENP-East countries – through almost 38 % in Azerbaijan and over 50 % in Georgia. These were significantly higher rates than the EU-27 average (4.6 % in 2011). In 2011, employment in agricultural activities decreased in all ENP-East countries except in Georgia, as compared with 2001 (see Table 2).
