Indicator 2.3.1 - Volume of production per labour unit by classes of farming / pastoral / forestry enterprise size
This indicator refers to the value of production per labour unit operated by small-scale producers in the farming, pastoral and forestry sectors. Data will be produced by classes of enterprise size. The indicator will measure progress towards SDG Target 2.3.
Target 2.3
By 2030, double the agricultural productivity and incomes of small-scale food producers, in particular women, indigenous peoples, family farmers, pastoralists and fishers, including through secure and equal access to land, other productive resources and inputs, knowledge, financial services, markets and opportunities for value addition and nonfarm employment.
Indicator 2.3.1: Progress Assessment
Impact
Together with indicator 2.3.2, it offers a complete breakdown of who small-scale producers are, what they earn and how much they produce. These indicators are vital for government efforts to drive the nation’s economy, eliminate hunger and poverty and reduce inequality.
Key results
Disparities in labour productivity between small- and large-scale food producers, as well as between production units headed by men and women, persist.
Small-scale food producers play a vital role in supporting global food systems and local economies, but consistently exhibit lower productivity compared to non-small-scale producers, particularly in higher-income countries. In low- and middle-income countries, the labour productivity falls below USD 25 (constant purchasing power parity [PPP] 2017) per day.
Globally, labour productivity among small-scale food producers is lower than that of non-small-scale producers. The ratio of labour productivity between small-scale and non-small-scale food producers reveals significant disparities in developed countries, with small-scale producers’ productivity accounting for less than 25 percent of that of large-scale producers. These gaps are less pronounced in low-and middle-income countries. In addition, the data shows that in many African countries, including Ethiopia, Malawi, Niger, Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania, labour productivity remains generally low for both small- and non-small-scale producers.Elearning
