Analysis
Europe recorded 11.92 million t for nutrient nitrogen n (total) — import quantity, gaps filled in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.8% on the previous year and up 4.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nutrient nitrogen n (total) — import quantity, gaps filled in Europe peaked at 12.73 million t in 2017 and was at its lowest, 870,974 t, in 1961.
That places Europe 5th out of 59 groups with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

How this figure is calculated
Nutrient nitrogen N (total) — Import quantity with 74 missing years estimated by linear interpolation between the nearest real observations. Only gaps of 4 years or fewer are filled, and never beyond the first or last actual measurement — these are filled holes, not forecasts.
Computed from
- Nutrient nitrogen N (total) — Import quantity Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
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.
