Foreign Agriculture Investment Database

Foreign Agriculture Investment Database contains data on inflows and outflows of foreign direct investment (FDI) in agriculture and agriculture related sectors by individual country and geographical region, expressed in millions of US dollars of the year to which they refer. The data were made available for the development of this database by courtesy of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD).

Definitions and Data Sources

Definitions and data sources are basically the same as those used on the UNCTAD FDI statics home page. Please refer to the following URLs.

Due to lack of availability of data disaggregated into sectors and subsectors of industries, the dataset covers a limited number of countries and/or limited time periods.
