Abstract
This study assesses the quality of fertilizers available in West African markets, focusing on Ghana, Nigeria, Côte d'Ivoire, Senegal, and Togo. The absence of a regional legal framework for fertilizer regulation and limited implementation of existing regulations have led to concerns about the low quality of fertilizer products and their adverse impact on the economy and farmers' finances. The primary objectives include diagnosing fertilizer quality, identifying factors contributing to quality issues, and supporting the development of a regulatory system within ECOWAS member countries.
