Welcome back, Daniel Workman here, senior
research yst at World's top exports.com

00:07.739 --> 00:16.829
Today, I'd like to share some intriguing insights about nitrogenous
fertilizers. Fertilizers are an essential agricultural component used to

00:16.829 --> 00:25.979
increase the food supply for a growing global population,
fertilizers, supply nutrients needed by soil to produce sustainable

00:25.979 --> 00:35.529
crops. In terms of international trade, nitrogenous fertilizers
rank among the world's top 80 most valuable exported commodities

00:38.360 --> 00:46.180
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

00:46.389 --> 00:55.209
We'll then focus on the leading nitrogenous fertilizer exporters. Next,
we'll drill down to identify the major customers for top exporters

00:55.209 --> 01:03.459
Russia, China and the United States of America. Our final
educational slide will summarize the key findings from this ysis

01:05.528 --> 01:13.228
The three main macronutrients used in mineral and chemical
fertilizers are nitrogen phosphorus and potassium

01:13.749 --> 01:21.988
Nitrogen is the most critical macronutrient for growing healthy
and nutritious plants and is important in the formation of protein

01:22.439 --> 01:30.149
Specifically, nitrogen plays a crucial role in leaf
growth without nitrogen. Green plant leaves turn yellow

01:30.660 --> 01:40.019
Potassium is vital for stem growth, water movement and promotion
of flowering or fruiting phosphorus nurtures the development

01:40.019 --> 01:49.080
of plant roots, flowers, seeds and fruit.
Pure nitrogenous fertilizers attracted

01:49.080 --> 01:58.550
45% of revenues for all fertilizers. Exported.
In 2022 possi fertilizers generated 20.1

01:58.550 --> 02:06.190
of total fertilizer exports. Phosphate
fertilizers accounted for 2.3% of the total

02:06.709 --> 02:13.050
For another 31.7% mixed fertilizers
include two or three of the macronutrients

02:13.050 --> 02:22.389
nitrogen, potassium or phosphorus. The Russian
Federation was the world's number one exporter

02:22.389 --> 02:31.630
of nitrogenous fertilizers. In 2022 the world's five leading
suppliers generated over two thirds of the overall nitrogenous

02:31.630 --> 02:39.949
fertilizer export total. The fastest growing
exporter was Oman a nation in West Asia

02:43.449 --> 02:52.479
The premier seller of nitrogenous fertilizers and global markets.
Russia had two prime customers buyers in Brazil and the United States

02:52.479 --> 02:59.929
of America contributed about 2/5 compared to all
Russian earnings from exported nitrogen fertilizers

03:00.410 --> 03:08.660
The five major customers shown resulted in
56.7% of Russia's total international sales

03:11.550 --> 03:18.850
Mainland China also benefit from two significant
customers for its exports of nitrogenous fertilizers

03:18.850 --> 03:29.470
namely Brazil and India. The five foremost buyers of Chinese
exported nitrogenous fertilizers were responsible for 52.1

03:29.470 --> 03:38.600
of the Asian powerhouses total. The United
States of America sold almost half of

03:38.600 --> 03:44.190
its nitrogen as fertilizer exports to its
North American neighbors, Canada and Mexico

03:44.949 --> 03:53.800
America's exports of nitrogen based fertilizers to its five
pre eminent customers surpass two thirds of its overall sales

03:58.380 --> 04:05.119
Here are some of the key takeaways from our ysis,
playing a critical role in leaf growth and protein formation

04:05.250 --> 04:14.940
Pure nitrogen fertilizers generated 45% of all fertilizer
sales. In 2022 the premier exporters of nitrogenous fertilizers

04:14.940 --> 04:24.308
were Russia Oman and mainland China. Leading customers for Russian
nitrogenous fertilizers are Brazil and the United States of America

04:24.898 --> 04:30.829
China's top buyers for its exported
nitrogenous fertilizers were Brazil and India

04:31.188 --> 04:39.188
America's chief customers are its North American
neighbors, Canada and Mexico. And for our bonus insight

04:39.188 --> 04:49.750
the world's largest importers of nitrogenous
fertilizers are India. Then Brazil for
