About us An overview of fertilizer statistics in Ghana from More emphasis is given to the year 2015 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) 2015 data validated from the 23 rd 25 th May, 2016.

3 Fertilizer production There are no primary productions of fertilizers in Ghana. Three of the major importing companies; Yara Ghana, Chemico Limited and Louis Dreyfus Commodities Ghana are also involved in secondary production (blending) of fertilizer formulations, fully operational with varied capacities located in the port city of Tema and Kpong(LDC) A small percentage of organic fertilizer is also produced locally.

In 2015, NPK s accounted for 48% of all official fertilizer imports. Ammonium sulphate 22% TOP FERTILIZER IMPORTS PER YEAR The top 5 products imported for the past four years have been consistent. However, Urea imports in 2014 reduced because there was no fertilizer subsidy that year. Other fertilizers include about 7,500MT of Kieserite which is a source of magnesium in blended NPK with a large amount going to the cocoa fertilizer blends. Occasionally, Oil palm estates apply Kieserite directly to provide magnesium to their plantations. Other fertilizers includes products like; DAP, Phosphate Rock, SOP, Calcium nitrate, etc 160, , , ,000 80,000 60,000 40,000 20,000 - MT NPK's Ammonium sulphate TSP MOP Urea Others fertilizers
