Nutrient phosphate P2O5 (total) — Agricultural Use in Western Europe, 1961–2024
Source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Measured in t.
Analysis
Western Europe recorded 528,005 t for nutrient phosphate p2o5 (total) — agricultural use in 2024.
That represents a change of down 18.3% on the previous year and down 35.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nutrient phosphate p2o5 (total) — agricultural use in Western Europe peaked at 3.97 million t in 1973 and was at its lowest, 401,916 t, in 2022.
That places Western Europe 24th out of 33 groups 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.
