FAO, in collaboration with experts from World Bank, UNIDO, the Industry Working Group dealing with fertilizer production and trade, provides five-year forecasts of world and regional fertilizer supply and demand balances on a yearly basis.

The potential fertilizer supply shown in the tables is based on existing capacities, without any market constraints. The nominal supply capacities include existing plants and projects as well as idle plants unless they will be recommissioned during the 5 year forecast period. The production capability is determined by the installed technical production capacity, the highest plant utilization rate estimated on the basis of performances of the past ten years, and estimated processing and distribution losses.


Fertilizer demand is the projected market allowing for various market constraints and is not necessarily identical with projected fertilizer needs based on agronomic or food production requirements.
