2 Outline Background information 1. Production 2. Imports 3. Exports 4. Origins 5. Agric. and non Agric. use 6. Consumption 7. NPK analysis 8. Summary 9. About us An overview of fertilizer statistics in Ghana from More emphasis is given to the year 2016 and each analysis is based on the products with higher quantities. Official trade data obtained from Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) and Validated by CountrySTAT Fertilizer Technical Working Group Ghana (FTWG-GHA) 2016 data validated from the th June, 2017.

3 Fertilizer production There are no primary productions of inorganic fertilizers in Ghana. Fertilizers are imported, blended and distributed through a network/system of wholesale and retail agro-dealers. Four of the major importing companies; Yara Ghana, Chemico Limited, Louis Dreyfus Commodities Ghana (LDC) and Omnifert are also involved in secondary production (blending) of fertilizer formulations, fully operational with varied capacities located in the port city of Tema (Yara, Chemico), Kpong (LDC) and Dawhenya (Omnifert). A small percentage of organic fertilizer is also produced locally.
