Abstract
This report provides a comprehensive overview of fertilizer statistics in Ghana for the period from 2016 to 2020, with a specific emphasis on the year 2020. It utilizes official trade data sourced from the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) and validated by the CountrySTAT Fertilizer Technical Working Group (FTWG-GHA). The analysis covers key areas such as fertilizer production, imports, exports, and apparent consumption, highlighting trends in the usage of various fertilizer types, including NPK, urea, and ammonium sulfate. In 2020, Ghana experienced a significant increase in fertilizer imports, totaling 618,638 metric tons, marking a 46% rise from the previous year.
