Analysis
Mali recorded 29,894 t for nutrient nitrogen n (total) — agricultural use in 2024.
That represents a change of down 43.7% on the previous year and down 66.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nutrient nitrogen n (total) — agricultural use in Mali peaked at 157,227 t in 2019 and was at its lowest, 21 t, in 1961.
That places Mali 106th out of 195 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
The Fertilizers by Nutrient dataset contains information on the totals in nutrients for Production, Trade and Agriculture Use of inorganic (chemical or mineral) fertilizers. The data are provided for the three primary plant nutrients: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (expressed as P2O5) and potassium (expressed as K2O). Both straight and compound fertilizers are included.
