- Asia
- Canada
How they compare
Canada currently reports 62.2 g/Int$ against 28.82 g/Int$ in Asia, a difference of 33.38 g/Int$.
That makes Canada's figure about 2.2 times Asia's.
The two have swapped places 12 times across 64 shared years of data; in 1961 it was Canada ahead.
Asia ranks 2nd and Canada ranks 5th of 19 groups.
Canada has averaged higher in every one of the 7 decades both report.

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.
