Analysis

Ethiopia recorded 201,885 t for volatilisation — cropland nitrogen in 2023. That is the highest value across all 31 years on record.

That represents a change of up 23.6% on the previous year and up 138.8% over ten years.

Over the whole period, volatilisation — cropland nitrogen in Ethiopia peaked at 201,885 t in 2023 and was at its lowest, 22,731 t, in 1993.

That places Ethiopia 31st out of 201 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.

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 (%).
