OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2021-2030
The OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2021-2030 is a collaborative effort of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation Development (OECD) and the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, prepared with input from Member governments and international commodity organisations. It provides a consensus assessment of the ten-year prospects for agricultural commodity, fish and biofuel markets at national, regional and global levels, and serves as a reference for forward-looking policy analysis and planning.
The OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2021-2030 presents the trends driving food and agricultural markets over the coming decade. While progress is expected on many important fronts, in order to realize the 2030 Agenda and achieve the sustainable development goals (SDGs), concerted actions and additional improvements will be needed by the agricultural sector.

Foreword
This year’s OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook comes at a critical juncture. The COVID-19 pandemic has placed unprecedented stress on the agricultural sector, requiring swift action to ensure the sector can remain resilient, efficient and sustainable, now and over the longer term. The 2021 UN Food Systems Summit in New York will be an excellent opportunity for the international community to chart a future vision for the agri-food systems, including to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). With less than ten years until the 2030 target for achieving the SDGs, policy-makers need to reflect on the factors and forces driving performance in the agri-food systems. It is against this background that the 2021 OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook identifies and analyses the drivers of performance in the agri-food markets over 2021-2030.
