AbstractThe Joint East Africa Fertilizer Technical Working Group (FTWG) Workshop held in Kampala, Uganda, on July 16-17, 2024, convened key stakeholders from Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda to validate 2023 fertilizer trade data. This workshop, part of AfricaFertilizer's ongoing efforts since its inception in 2006, aimed to provide reliable datasets for informed decision-making in agricultural policies and practices. Highlights from the workshop revealed significant trends in fertilizer imports, with Tanzania experiencing a notable increase of 26%, while Rwanda's imports showed minimal growth. Burundi reported a substantial 59% rise in imports due to government initiatives prioritizing agriculture and enhanced farmer knowledge. Uganda noted an overall increase in imports, driven by supportive policies and initiatives. The validated data will serve as a foundation for future agricultural strategies and promote effective fertilizer use in the region.
