| Abstract | The document presents an analysis of fertilizer imports and consumption in Zambia from 2014 to 2022, highlighting the types of fertilizers used and their trends over the years. Total fertilizer imports fluctuated, peaking at 697,928 tonnes in 2020, before slightly decreasing to 632,529 tonnes in 2022. Among the various types of fertilizers, urea and NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium) were the most imported, followed by ammonium nitrate and MAP (Monoammonium Phosphate). There was also an increase in the proportion of other fertilizers over the years. Similarly, the apparent consumption mirrored import trends, reaching a total of 620,795 tonnes in 2022, with urea and NPK continuing to dominate. The agricultural calendar is divided into a main growing season from January to June, featuring crops such as maize and sorghum, and a counter-season from July to December. | |
