BookletCorporate general interestInorganic fertilizers
2000–2021
2023Also available in:
No results found.FAOSTAT provides statistics at the country, regional and global level on the production, trade and agricultural use of inorganic (mineral and chemical) fertilizers, by nutrient and by type, for the three primary plant nutrients: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (expressed as P2O5) and potassium (expressed as K2O). This brief discusses statistics of agricultural use of inorganic fertilizers from 2000 to 2021 and related indicators, both globally and by region. -
BookletCorporate general interestInorganic fertilizers 1961–2019 2021
Also available in:
No results found.FAOSTAT provides statistics at country, regional and global level on the production, trade and agricultural use of inorganic (mineral or chemical) fertilizers, by nutrient and by product. This brief provides estimates of agricultural use of inorganic fertilizers from 1961 to 2019, both globally and by major region (Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania). At country level, it presents the top producers and top consumers and their share of the world total. The brief also provides maps with the country ratios of fertilizer use with respect to the area of cropland. -
Book (series)Technical studyInorganic fertilizers 1961-2018 2020
Also available in:
No results found.FAOSTAT provides statistics at country, regional and global levels on the production, trade and agricultural use of inorganic fertilizers. This brief provides a summary of the global levels of inorganic fertilizers use in agriculture from 1961 to 2018 and their ratio by area of cropland. It also analyses use levels by region. At the country level, it shows the top producers and top consumers of inorganic fertilizers and their high share of the world total, and briefly looks at the internal heterogeneity of regions in the use of fertilizers among their countries, at both the absolute level and per area of cropland.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookThe international Code of Conduct for the sustainable use and management of fertilizers
-
2019The International Code of Conduct for the Sustainable Use and Management of Fertilizers or Fertilizer Code was developed to increase food safety and the safe use of fertilizers. The Fertilizer Code aims to address issues of global importance, thereby contributing to the implementation of some of the Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs). It essentially provides a locally adaptable framework and a voluntary set of practices to serve the different stakeholders directly or indirectly involved with fertilizers. It is expected that these stakeholders will contribute to sustainable agriculture and food security from a nutrient management perspective, by adhering and help implementing the voluntary guidelines and recommendations provided. The Fertilizer Code is the result of a broad and intensive consultation process initiated in December 2017, unfolded until February 2019, as recommended by the Committee on Agriculture and finally endorsed by the 41st FAO Conference in June 2019. -
BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
