Biological fixation — Cropland nitrogen per unit area over time
- South Africa
- Thailand
How they compare
South Africa currently reports 16.97 kg/ha against 15.65 kg/ha in Thailand, a difference of 1.32 kg/ha.
That makes South Africa's figure about 1.1 times Thailand's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 63 shared years of data; in 1961 it was Thailand ahead.
South Africa ranks 31st and Thailand ranks 33rd of 176 countries.
Thailand has averaged higher in every one of the 7 decades both report.

About this data
The Cropland Nutrient balance domain contains information on the flows of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium from mineral fertilizer, manure applied, atmospheric deposition, crop removal, and biological fixation over cropland and per unit area of cropland. The flows are aggregated to total inputs and total outputs, from which the overall nutrient balance and nutrient use efficiency on cropland are calculated. Statistics are disseminated in units of tonnes and in kg/ha, as appropriate. Nutrient use efficiency is expressed as a fraction (%).
