Detailed observation of presented data
The main story: Agriculture cost-per-purchase was generally lower than the global benchmark over the 13-month window, but with pronounced swings — a midsummer spike, a Q4 softening, a New Year lift, then a steep slide into June 2026. This analysis is based on $3B worth of advertising data from our dataset, which provides strong directional benchmarks. This analysis explores ad performance trends for Agriculture in All countries available compared to the global benchmark.
Agriculture cost-per-purchase began at about $46.77 in June 2025 and finished at $24.94 in June 2026, a near 47% decline from start to finish. The series averaged roughly $42.00 per purchase (median of monthly values ≈ $41.99), while the global baseline averaged about $48.18 — so Agriculture ran roughly 13% below the overall benchmark on average.
Highs and lows punctuate the narrative. The highest Agriculture cost was $61.58 in July 2025 (a sharp lift from June), and the low came in June 2026 at $24.94 — the trough coinciding with a similar drop in the baseline. Month-to-month moves were material: the July 2025 spike was roughly +32% vs June; January 2026 produced another lift to roughly $50.34; February 2026 then dropped ~33% from January. Volatility measured by standard deviation was about $8.9 for Agriculture versus $7.1 for the global benchmark — an absolute increase of ~25% in SD, indicating more jagged cost swings in Agriculture.
A seasonal rhythm appears across the year: a summertime peak in July, a steady softening into October, a rebound into the New Year, and then a February trough before a relatively flat spring that ends in June’s sharp low. Q3 shows the most upward momentum (July), Q4 typically softens (October bottomed near $33), and early Q1 brings a lift (January into February saw large movement). The pattern suggests alternating periods of compression and release in unit cost, with the most dramatic contraction occurring in the final month of the series.
Across most months Agriculture ran below the global benchmark. The largest gap was in October 2025, when Agriculture costs were about 36% below the baseline (≈$33.22 vs $52.06). There were intermittent periods where Agriculture exceeded the global level — most notably July 2025 (+25% above the baseline). By June 2026 the gap almost vanished: Agriculture was only ~2% below the global figure, narrowing the spread as both series hit similar troughs. Overall, Agriculture displayed higher volatility and sharper month-to-month swings than the global market.

Insights & analysis of Facebook advertising costs
Facebook advertising costs vary based on many factors including industry, target audience, ad placement, and campaign objectives. In the Agriculture industry, Facebook ad costs can be influenced by seasonal trends and market competition. Geographic targeting affects ad costs based on market competition and user engagement in different regions. Different campaign objectives lead to varying costs based on how Facebook optimizes for your specific goals. The data shown represents median values across multiple campaigns, and individual results may vary based on ad quality, audience targeting, and campaign optimization.
We use the median CTR because the underlying distribution of click-through rates is highly skewed, with a small share of campaigns achieving extremely high CTRs. These outliers can inflate a simple average, making it less representative of what most advertisers actually experience. By using the median—which sits at the midpoint of all campaigns—we provide a more rigorous and realistic benchmark that reflects the true underlying data model and helps you set attainable performance expectations.
Note: This data represents industry median values and benchmarks. Your actual costs may vary based on specific targeting, ad creative quality, and campaign optimization.

All data is sourced from over $3B in Facebook ad spend, collected across thousands of ad accounts that use Superads daily to analyze and improve their campaigns. Every data point is fully anonymized and aggregated—no individual advertiser is ever exposed.
This dataset updates frequently as new ad data flows in. It will only get bigger and better.
It depends on your product price and margins. Most brands aim for $10 to $50. For higher-ticket products, a higher CPA may be acceptable as long as you're maintaining a strong return on ad spend.
Higher-priced products typically have a higher CPA because people take longer to convert. That's not necessarily a problem if your margin can support it. You should measure CPA in context with AOV and LTV.
Your AOV may be increasing, which helps maintain ROAS even if CPA rises. You could also be facing higher CPMs, lower conversion rates, or creative fatigue.
Manual bidding can help if you're struggling to stay within target CPA. It's best used by experienced advertisers who can monitor performance and adjust regularly. It gives more control, but also requires more effort.
Increase budget gradually, rotate creative often, and avoid overlapping audiences. Scaling too quickly can lead to audience saturation and rising CPAs.
