Abstract
This factsheet provides a comprehensive overview of fertilizer demand in Burkina Faso for 2020, focusing on major crops such as maize, millet, sorghum, rice, and cotton cultivated during the long rains. The seasonal calendar highlights critical periods for sowing, growing, and harvesting, which correspond to peak fertilizer demand. Analysis of fertilizer imports reveals a substantial reliance on NPK fertilizers, comprising 70% of imports, with urea accounting for 26%. Apparent consumption trends from 2011 to 2020 indicate consistent use of NPK and urea, emphasizing their importance in enhancing agricultural productivity.
