This voluminous publication covers fertilizer production, import, export, offtake and price trends during last 10 to 15 years. Fertilizer use and crop yields in different countries and regions of the world, are also included in this bulletin. The data contained in this publication is based on information provided by relevant government organizations and fertilizer industry. The information pertaining to fertilizer use at global level is obtained from FAO database and IFA publications. Cooperation of all these organizations in finalizing the statistics is deeply acknowledged.
