Analysis
Kenya recorded 98,850 t for biological fixation — cropland nitrogen in 2023. That is the highest value across all 63 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 8.3% on the previous year and up 14.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, biological fixation — cropland nitrogen in Kenya peaked at 98,850 t in 2023 and was at its lowest, 26,373 t, in 1961.
That places Kenya 34th out of 191 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the top quarter.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising 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 (%).
