Analysis
South-eastern Asia recorded 1.58 million t for nutrient balance — cropland potassium in 2023.
The figure is up 22.5% on the previous year and up 6.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nutrient balance — cropland potassium in South-eastern Asia peaked at 2.31 million t in 2017 and was at its lowest, 256,528 t, in 2009.
That places South-eastern Asia 8th out of 32 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 (%).
