Abstract
The January 2023 edition of FertiNews highlights the rebranding of AfricaFertilizer.org as AfricaFertilizer, unveiling a revamped AfricaFertilizer.org (AFO) website. This rebranding aligns with the organization's commitment to delivering reliable, accurate, timely fertilizer data and information to support fertilizer market systems across sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The enhanced website offers comprehensive data on fertilizer supply chains and availability in more than 18 SSA countries, establishing AfricaFertilizer as the primary source for fertilizer-related data on the African continent. The article introduces two essential publications: the quarterly FertiNews, offering insights into in-country fertilizer market prices, analysis, and situation reports, and the monthly Africa Fertilizer Watch, focusing on monitoring the impact of global fertilizer price surges, availability, and affordability across Africa. Key national fertilizer market comments are presented, addressing market dynamics, pricing trends, government initiatives, and agricultural developments in various African countries. The article also covers notable news stories involving the African Fertilizer Financing Mechanism (AFFM) receiving funding from the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD), Madagascar's fertilizer investment seeking, and the approval of funds for a limestone granule factory in Ebonyi, Nigeria.
