- Africa
- Namibia
How they compare
Namibia currently reports 38.19 g/Int$ against 11.88 g/Int$ in Africa, a difference of 26.31 g/Int$.
That makes Namibia's figure about 3.2 times Africa's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 64 shared years of data; in 1961 it was Africa ahead.
Africa ranks 25th and Namibia ranks 24th of 29 groups.
Across the 7 decades both report, Africa averaged higher in 5 and Namibia in 2.

About this data
The Fertilizers by Nutrient dataset contains information on the totals in nutrients for Production, Trade and Agriculture Use of inorganic (chemical or mineral) fertilizers. The data are provided for the three primary plant nutrients: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (expressed as P2O5) and potassium (expressed as K2O). Both straight and compound fertilizers are included.
