Welcome back, Daniel Workman here, senior research yst at World's top exports.com
Today, I'd like to share some intriguing insights about nitrogenous fertilizers. Fertilizers are an essential agricultural component used to
increase the food supply for a growing global population, fertilizers, supply nutrients needed by soil to produce sustainable
crops. In terms of international trade, nitrogenous fertilizers rank among the world's top 80 most valuable exported commodities
Now, let's look at our agenda. We'll start with a clear definition of nitrogenous fertilizers and how they differ from other fertilizer nutrients
We'll then focus on the leading nitrogenous fertilizer exporters. Next, we'll drill down to identify the major customers for top exporters
Russia, China and the United States of America. Our final educational slide will summarize the key findings from this ysis
The three main macronutrients used in mineral and chemical fertilizers are nitrogen phosphorus and potassium
Nitrogen is the most critical macronutrient for growing healthy and nutritious plants and is important in the formation of protein
Specifically, nitrogen plays a crucial role in leaf growth without nitrogen. Green plant leaves turn yellow
Potassium is vital for stem growth, water movement and promotion of flowering or fruiting phosphorus nurtures the development
of plant roots, flowers, seeds and fruit. Pure nitrogenous fertilizers attracted
45% of revenues for all fertilizers. Exported. In 2022 possi fertilizers generated 20.1
of total fertilizer exports. Phosphate fertilizers accounted for 2.3% of the total
For another 31.7% mixed fertilizers include two or three of the macronutrients
nitrogen, potassium or phosphorus. The Russian Federation was the world's number one exporter
of nitrogenous fertilizers. In 2022 the world's five leading suppliers generated over two thirds of the overall nitrogenous
fertilizer export total. The fastest growing exporter was Oman a nation in West Asia
The premier seller of nitrogenous fertilizers and global markets. Russia had two prime customers buyers in Brazil and the United States
of America contributed about 2/5 compared to all Russian earnings from exported nitrogen fertilizers
The five major customers shown resulted in 56.7% of Russia's total international sales
Mainland China also benefit from two significant customers for its exports of nitrogenous fertilizers
namely Brazil and India. The five foremost buyers of Chinese exported nitrogenous fertilizers were responsible for 52.1
of the Asian powerhouses total. The United States of America sold almost half of
its nitrogen as fertilizer exports to its North American neighbors, Canada and Mexico
America's exports of nitrogen based fertilizers to its five pre eminent customers surpass two thirds of its overall sales
Here are some of the key takeaways from our ysis, playing a critical role in leaf growth and protein formation
Pure nitrogen fertilizers generated 45% of all fertilizer sales. In 2022 the premier exporters of nitrogenous fertilizers
were Russia Oman and mainland China. Leading customers for Russian nitrogenous fertilizers are Brazil and the United States of America
China's top buyers for its exported nitrogenous fertilizers were Brazil and India
America's chief customers are its North American neighbors, Canada and Mexico. And for our bonus insight
the world's largest importers of nitrogenous fertilizers are India. Then Brazil for
