Analysis

Latvia recorded 10,014 t for biological fixation — cropland nitrogen in 2023. That is the highest value across all 32 years on record.

The figure is up 5.9% on the previous year and up 1,190.5% over ten years.

Over the whole period, biological fixation — cropland nitrogen in Latvia peaked at 10,014 t in 2023 and was at its lowest, 91.69 t, in 2006.

That places Latvia 95th out of 191 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the middle of the range.

The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

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 (%).
