Analysis
Cambodia recorded 11.77 kg/cap for nutrient nitrogen n (total) — use per capita in 2024. That is the highest value across all 64 years on record.
That represents a change of up 46.6% on the previous year and up 182.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nutrient nitrogen n (total) — use per capita in Cambodia peaked at 11.77 kg/cap in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0 kg/cap, in 1977.
That places Cambodia 59th out of 197 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.
