Application of mineral fertilizers for agricultural crops
Volumes of mineral fertilizers applied to the soil by agricultural organizations are presented here expressed as 100% of nutrients. The statistics cover the period from 2019 to 2023 inclusive, allowing for tracking the intensity of agrochemical use in crop production. The information is grouped by year, making it possible to assess how approaches to sowing fertilization have changed over the five-year period. The indicators reflect the activities of agricultural organizations nationwide, without breakdown by region or crop type

How to read this table
The table rows repeat the indicator name, recording total application volumes expressed as 100% of nutrients for each year. Values in columns corresponding to specific calendar periods should be compared. This format provides an overview of mineral fertilizer use in the agricultural sector based on official Rosstat data over a five-year interval. Differences in figures between 2019 and 2023 reflect actual changes in the volume of fertilizer application at sowing by agricultural organizations
What is visible in these numbers
“Mineral fertilizers applied in terms of 100% nutrients by type for all crops - total — thousand tonnes” leads the table with 3,452, “Mineral fertilizers applied in terms of 100% nutrients by type for all crops — potash — in % of total” closes it with 15. The gap between them is 230-fold.
