This factsheet presents an analysis of fertilizer demand in Tanzania for the year 2020, focusing on the consumption patterns across various crops and seasonal variations. The major season, characterized by long rains, includes essential crops such as maize, sorghum, millet, rice, wheat, and beans, while the minor season features similar crops with varying planting schedules. The report highlights the peak demand periods for fertilizers during the sowing, growing, and harvesting phases. Data from 2011 to 2020 illustrates trends in fertilizer imports and apparent consumption, revealing a significant reliance on urea, DAP, and NPK fertilizers, which together account for a substantial portion of the nutrient requirements.
