The line representing contribution from agriculture is showing a decreasing growth rate during
1941-2016 as agriculture sector contributes 70% of total GDP in 2950. Now agriculture sector
has decreased to 15.1% in 2016. So, claiming Bangladesh an agro-based country will be
contradictory to this data.

However, the contribution percentage from both industry and service is increasing. In all these
year, the contribution from service sector became more than doubled and contribution from
industry sector increased a lot.

Agriculture Industry Service

From the graph, it can be seen that service contribution to GDP is the highest in both in Japan
and Brazil while Japan is a developed country and Brazil is a developing country. The service
contributions to GDP are more than 70%. For other countries, it is within range between 40-
60%. The lowest service contribution is from Tanzania which we take as the least developed
country. Agriculture contribution is lowest in Qatar which is less than 1% but highest in
Tanzania.
