Analysis
Chile recorded 3,613 t for biological fixation — cropland nitrogen in 2023.
The figure is up 13.6% on the previous year and down 27.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, biological fixation — cropland nitrogen in Chile peaked at 12,005 t in 1979 and was at its lowest, 3,002 t, in 2014.
That places Chile 120th out of 191 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the middle of the range.
The long-run direction has been consistently falling across the 63 years of available data.

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 (%).
