Background informationThis is an overview of fertilizer statistics in Kenya for the past
four years
Analysis are based on official trade data (official imports and official exports)
In this overview, more emphasis is given to the year 2013 which is the immediate past year and each analysis is based on the products with higher quantities.
Current data available
RAW DATA AVAILABLE PROCESSED DATA AVAILABLE ON COUNTRYSTATIMPORT Raw import data from
KNBS mirroring customs, from January 2010 to December 2013
2010 to 2013 imports have been processed and used to fill CS and FRUA output tables
On CountrySTAT, there are data from 1999 – 2012 but the only product available is Anhydrous Ammonia
EXPORT Raw export data from KNBS mirroring customs, from January 2011 to December 2013
2011 to 2013 exports have been processed and used to fill CS and FRUA output tables.
No export data on CountrySTAT
PRODUCTION We don’t have production data
N/A On CountrySTAT, there is data for TSP from 2005 - 2011
CONSUMPTION Data from MOA Actual consumption for 2012 from MOA has been filled on the IFA FAO compare table. They were entered manually
On CountrySTAT, there are data from 2005 - 2011
Production
• There is production of SSP in kenya. • However, we don’t know the exact amount of production for the past four
years.• Production of SSP by KEL Chemicals Limited is about 10,0000mt/yr

Total (MT)
Imports
• In the year 2013, DAP were the most imported fertilizers accounting for 40% of all officially imported fertilizers.
• Comparing the imports for the past three years shows that the top 5 imports have been consistent throughout.

Consumption [Apparent]
Source: KNBS mirroring Customs
• At the moment, we are yet to get actual consumption of fertilizers in Kenya, therefore, all available consumption are apparent.
• In 2013, the total apparent consumption of fertilizers in Kenya was 666,981mt
• Comparing the total apparent consumption of fertilizers over the years, consumption in 2012 was the lowest whiles consumption in 2013 was the highest.
• No apparent consumption for 2010 because of unavailability of fertilizer exports in that year.
