Analysis
In 2024, nutrient nitrogen n (total) — use per area of cropland in Cameroon stood at 6.53 kg/ha.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 28.3% on the previous year and up 94.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nutrient nitrogen n (total) — use per area of cropland in Cameroon peaked at 8.27 kg/ha in 2022 and was at its lowest, 0.27 kg/ha, in 1961.
That places Cameroon 158th out of 210 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom quarter.

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.
