Surf IFADATA...

The IFA database – which contains historical fertilizer production, trade and consumption statistics by product and by country since 1973/74 (IFADATA) – is now online. IFADATA was previously available in cd-rom format only, with the data in Excel files. In the new searchable, web-based version, all figures are available online with only a couple of clicks.
IFA members have access to the full database.
Non-IFA members have access to the full database for fertilizer consumption, but access to production and trade statistics is restricted to nutrient aggregates ("Total" in the database menu).

Assessment of Fertilizer Use by Crop at the Global Level, Patrick Heffer, IFA
Fully understanding the contribution of the different crop types to fertilizer use at national, regional and global scales is a prerequisite to the development of sound fertilizer demand forecasts. In that connection, the International Fertilizer Industry Association (IFA) gathers information on fertilizer use by crop in some of the main fertilizer-consuming countries. Country information currently available at the IFA Secretariat covers 16 countries (considering the EU-15 as a single country). These countries account together for 84% of world fertilizer consumption, making it possible to analyze fertilizer use by crop type at the global level. Data on fertilizer use by crop in the selected 16 countries are given in the table at the end of this report.
