Analysis
In 2023, volatilisation — cropland nitrogen per unit area in Congo stood at 1.62 kg/ha.
That represents a change of down 25.5% on the previous year and up 33.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, volatilisation — cropland nitrogen per unit area in Congo peaked at 2.85 kg/ha in 1971 and was at its lowest, 0.3603 kg/ha, in 1961.
That places Congo 194th out of 201 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
The Cropland Nutrient balance domain contains information on the flows of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium from mineral fertilizer, manure applied, atmospheric deposition, crop removal, and biological fixation over cropland and per unit area of cropland. The flows are aggregated to total inputs and total outputs, from which the overall nutrient balance and nutrient use efficiency on cropland are calculated. Statistics are disseminated in units of tonnes and in kg/ha, as appropriate. Nutrient use efficiency is expressed as a fraction (%).
