How this figure is calculated
Nutrient nitrogen N (total) — Export quantity divided by Population, total, matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Nutrient nitrogen N (total) — Export quantity ÷ Population, total
Computed from
- Nutrient nitrogen N (total) — Export quantity Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
- Population, total World Population Prospects, United Nations (UN)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
