Countries with the Least Arable Land

Surprisingly, some of the countries most reliant on agriculture for securing their futures have environments that are unsuitable for farm production.

Agricultural land refers to those portions of land that are either arable, under permanent pasture, or under permanent crop cover. Arable land refers to land that is capable of being plowed and used to grow crops. Expansion of arable land will remain an important factor in many countries that rely heavily on agriculture, especially in Latin America and sub-Saharan Africa where populations, and their food needs, continue to grow. According to a recent World Bank report, the countries with the smallest percentages of land used for agriculture today include Suriname, Greenland, Singapore, the Bahamas, the Seychelles, and Norway.

The 25 countries with the least arable lane are: Suriname 0.53%, Greenland 0.57%, Singapore 0.95%, Bahamas 1.4%, Faroe Islands 2.15%, Papua New Guinea 2.63%, Norway 2.7%, Brunei Darussalam 2.73%, Seychelles 3.25%, Egypt 3.78%, Solomon Islands 3.86%, UAE 4.57%, Oman 4.74%, Hong Kong 4.86%, Qatar 5.82%, Belize 7.01%, Canada 7.18%, Finland 7.43%, Sweden 7.48%, Central African Republic 8.15%, Guyana 8.52%, Kuwait 8.62%, Libya 8.73%, Laos 10.12%, Equatorial Guinea 10.12%.
