Global data on fertilizer use by crop and by country

Understanding how much inorganic fertilizer (referred to as fertilizer) is
applied to different crops at national, regional and global levels is an
essential component of fertilizer consumption analysis and demand
projection. Good information on fertilizer use by crop (FUBC) is rarely
available because it is difficult to collect and time-consuming to process
and validate. To fill this gap, a first global FUBC report was published
in 1992 for the 1990/1991 period, based on an expert survey conducted
jointly by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the UN, the
International Fertilizer Development Center (IFDC) and the International
Fertilizer Association (IFA). Since then, similar expert surveys have been
carried out and published every two to four years in the main
fertilizer-consuming countries. Since 2008 IFA has led these efforts and,
to our knowledge, remains the only globally available data set on FUBC.
This dataset includes data (in CSV format) from a survey carried out by
IFA to represent the 2017–18 period as well as a collation of all historic
FUBC data.

了解国家、区域及全球层面不同作物的无机肥料（简称肥料）施用量，是肥料消费分析与需求预测的重要组成部分。按作物分类的肥料使用（fertilizer use by crop, FUBC）的可靠信息十分稀缺，因其收集难度大且处理与验证耗时。为填补这一空白，联合国粮食及农业组织（FAO）、国际肥料发展中心（IFDC）与国际肥料协会（IFA）联合开展专家调查，于1992年发布首份覆盖1990/1991年的全球FUBC报告。此后，主要肥料消费国每2至4年开展并发布类似的专家调查。自2008年起，IFA主导这些工作，且据我们所知，该数据集仍是全球唯一可用的FUBC数据集。本数据集包含IFA开展的2017–18年调查数据（CSV格式）及所有历史FUBC数据的整理结果。
