Analysis
Kenya recorded 3.17 million kg for sheep and goats — manure applied to soils that volatilises in 2023.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 12.5% on the previous year and up 41.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, sheep and goats — manure applied to soils that volatilises in Kenya peaked at 3.36 million kg in 2019 and was at its lowest, 381,339 kg, in 1974.
That places Kenya 24th out of 187 countries with data for 2023, 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 Livestock Manure domain of FAOSTAT contains estimates of nitrogen (N) inputs to agricultural soils from livestock manure. Data on the N losses to air and water are also disseminated. These estimates are compiled using official FAOSTAT statistics of animal stocks and by applying the internationally approved Guidelines of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Data are available by country, with global coverage and updated annually.The following elements are disseminated: 1) Stocks; 2) Amount excreted in manure (N content); 3) Manure left on pasture (N content); 4) Manure left on pasture that volatilises (N content); 5) Manure left on pasture that leaches (N content); 6) Manure treated (N content); 7) Losses from manure treated (N content); 8) Manure applied to soils (N content); 9) Manure applied to soils that volatilises (N content); 10) Manure applied to soils that leaches (N content).
