Assessment

Authoritative international agricultural economic data sources, including the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Bank, consistently report that the livestock sector accounts for approximately 40% of global agricultural GDP and global agricultural production value. Major benchmark publications—such as the FAO's 'The State of Food and Agriculture' (2010) and the World Bank's 'Minding the Stock' (2009)—explicitly establish that livestock constitutes about 40% of global agricultural GDP/output value.

World Bank Report 'Minding the Stock' (2009) explicitly stated that livestock constitutes 'about 40 percent of the global agricultural GDP'.
FAO's flagship report 'The State of Food and Agriculture' (2010) reported that livestock contributes 40 percent of the global value of agricultural production.
A 2019/2020 SEBI/LivestockData review of FAOSTAT data confirmed that the global average contribution of livestock to agricultural production value remains around 40%.
