Abstract
This factsheet presents an in-depth analysis of fertilizer demand in Kenya for NP compounds in 2020, highlighting key trends in consumption and imports from 2011 to 2020. The report emphasizes the role of various fertilizers, including DAP, NPK, urea, and CAN, detailing their respective contributions to overall fertilizer use. The data reveals that urea and DAP were the most consumed fertilizers, with NP compounds accounting for 4% of total fertilizer imports. Furthermore, the analysis identifies peak fertilizer demand periods aligned with major (long rains) and minor (short rains) cropping seasons, focusing on crops such as maize, beans, millet, and sorghum.
