Analysis
The most recent figure for biological fixation — cropland nitrogen in Chad is 84,475 t, measured in 2023.
That represents a change of down 3.5% on the previous year and down 13.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, biological fixation — cropland nitrogen in Chad peaked at 111,315 t in 2012 and was at its lowest, 12,208 t, in 1982.
Chad ranks 41st of 191 countries on this measure, in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

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 (%).
