Development flows to agriculture 2012–2021. Global and regional trends

The development flows to agriculture dataset is an important component of agricultural investment financing statistics which also include government expenditures on agriculture, foreign direct investment in agriculture and credit to agriculture.

The objective of the DFA database is to provide readily available data to enable analysis on aid flows and the purposes they serve, with an emphasis on agriculture, its components, and environmental protection.

According to the latest data, analyzed in the FAOSTAT analytical brief, in 2021, Africa received the largest portion of DFA (40.2 percent), followed by Asia (30.1 percent) and the Americas (12.1 percent).
