Africa: Nutrient potash K2O (total) — Production was 0 t in 2024. ◆ Volatile
Nutrient potash K2O (total) — Production in Africa, 1983–2024
Source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Measured in t.
Analysis
The most recent figure for nutrient potash k2o (total) — production in Africa is 0 t, measured in 2024. That is the lowest value across all 25 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 100.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nutrient potash k2o (total) — production in Africa peaked at 25,900 t in 2014 and was at its lowest, 0 t, in 2002.
That places Africa 22nd out of 32 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.
