Analysis
Southern Asia recorded 7.40 million t for crop harvest removal — cropland potassium in 2023. That is the highest value across all 63 years on record.
That represents a change of up 5.0% on the previous year and up 18.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, crop harvest removal — cropland potassium in Southern Asia peaked at 7.40 million t in 2023 and was at its lowest, 1.35 million t, in 1961.
That places Southern Asia 4th out of 29 groups with data for 2023, putting it 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 (%).
