Analysis
In 2024, nutrient nitrogen n (total) — use per area of cropland in Chile stood at 100.98 kg/ha.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 1.3% on the previous year and down 6.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nutrient nitrogen n (total) — use per area of cropland in Chile peaked at 122.14 kg/ha in 2015 and was at its lowest, 3.25 kg/ha, in 1961.
That places Chile 27th out of 210 countries with data for 2024, 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 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.
