Analysis
The most recent figure for biological fixation — cropland nitrogen in Iraq is 634 t, measured in 2023. That is the lowest value across all 63 years on record.
That represents a change of down 10.6% on the previous year and down 82.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, biological fixation — cropland nitrogen in Iraq peaked at 14,973 t in 2002 and was at its lowest, 634 t, in 2023.
Iraq ranks 150th of 191 countries on this measure, in the bottom 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 (%).
