Abstract
This fact sheet provides a comprehensive overview of fertilizer imports and consumption in Malawi from 2016 to 2022, highlighting the types of fertilizers utilized and their variations over the years. Total fertilizer imports peaked in 2020 but saw a significant decline by 2022. Urea and NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium) emerged as the primary fertilizers, reflecting the growing reliance on chemical inputs for agricultural productivity. The analysis also addresses seasonal crop demands, with major crops such as maize, rice, and sorghum requiring specific nutrient applications during critical growth periods.
