Central Europe and the Baltics - Fertilizer consumption
Fertilizer consumption (% of fertilizer production)
Fertilizer consumption (% of fertilizer production) in Central Europe and the Baltics was 81.67 as of 2018. Its highest value over the past 26 years was 81.67 in 2018, while its lowest value was 52.11 in 1995.
Definition: Fertilizer consumption measures the quantity of plant nutrients used per unit of arable land. Fertilizer products cover nitrogenous, potash, and phosphate fertilizers (including ground rock phosphate). Traditional nutrients--animal and plant manures--are not included. For the purpose of data dissemination, FAO has adopted the concept of a calendar year (January to December). Some countries compile fertilizer data on a calendar year basis, while others are on a split-year basis.

Fertilizer consumption (kilograms per hectare of arable land)
Fertilizer consumption (kilograms per hectare of arable land) in Central Europe and the Baltics was 133.70 as of 2018. Its highest value over the past 26 years was 133.74 in 2017, while its lowest value was 72.12 in 1992.
Definition: Fertilizer consumption measures the quantity of plant nutrients used per unit of arable land. Fertilizer products cover nitrogenous, potash, and phosphate fertilizers (including ground rock phosphate). Traditional nutrients--animal and plant manures--are not included. For the purpose of data dissemination, FAO has adopted the concept of a calendar year (January to December). Some countries compile fertilizer data on a calendar year basis, while others are on a split-year basis. Arable land includes land defined by the FAO as land under temporary crops (double-cropped areas are counted once), temporary meadows for mowing or for pasture, land under market or kitchen gardens, and land temporarily fallow. Land abandoned as a result of shifting cultivation is excluded.
