Africa vs USSR: Outputs — Cropland potassium
Outputs — Cropland potassium over time
- Africa
- USSR
How they compare
Africa currently reports 4.89 million t against 1.88 million t in USSR, a difference of 3.01 million t.
That makes Africa's figure about 2.6 times USSR's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 31 shared years of data; in 1961 it was USSR ahead.
Africa ranks 9th and USSR ranks 6th of 29 groups.
USSR has averaged higher in every one of the 4 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Africa | USSR | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1960s | 1.07 million t | 1.78 million t | 707,256 t | USSR |
| 1970s | 1.32 million t | 2.19 million t | 867,517 t | USSR |
| 1980s | 1.55 million t | 2.16 million t | 607,914 t | USSR |
| 1990s | 1.92 million t | 2.08 million t | 161,445 t | USSR |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

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 (%).
