Agriculture in Equatorial Guinea explained

Agriculture is a major sector of the economy in Equatorial Guinea. Farming accounts for approximately 2% of GDP as it contributes little to the export earnings of the country.[1] In 2022, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations held its Africa regional conference in Malabo.[2] One popular crop is Tabernanthe iboga which is used for traditional tribal medicine.[3] The island of Bioko has a greater variety of tropical vegetation, including mangroves than the mainland.[4]

The Government of Equatorial Guinea has used agriculture as a way to promote economic diversity.[5] In 2021, crop production index for Equatorial Guinea was 102.2 index, growing at an average annual rate of 1.23%.[6]
