Abstract | This FertiNews highlights the evolving fertilizer landscape across sub-Saharan Africa, emphasizing the shift from imported to locally produced NPK fertilizers in Nigeria due to a 2018 import ban. This transition has sparked data validation workshops to address significant NPK data gaps for stakeholders. The report provides market commentary for several countries, noting price stability in Côte d'Ivoire, the launch of Ghana's agricultural rejuvenation program, ongoing fertilizer subsidies in Togo, and price fluctuations in Nigeria due to demand and transportation costs. It also outlines international fertilizer price trends and the establishment of the West African Committee for Fertilizer Control (WACoFeC) aimed at enhancing fertilizer quality and accessibility. These developments signal a concerted effort to bolster agricultural productivity through improved fertilizer management in the region. | |
