The need for mineral fertilizers
At the start of 2019, the expected
requirement for mineral fertilizers in Uzbekistan agriculture was 395 thousand tons, of which 221 thousand tons were nitrogen, 162 thousand tones were phosphorus, and 12 thousand tons were potash.Currently, phosphate and potash fertilizer output meets just around 30% of demand (2019). According to a 2019 demand structure study by area in Uzbekistan, mineral fertilizers based on nitrogen compounds, such as urea, ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulfate, and others, account for more than 70% of total volume. At the same time, phosphate and potash fertilizers account for approximately 19% and 8% of total fertilizer use, respectively. Fertilizers are most needed in the Kashkadarya (13.1 percent) and Ferghana areas (9.2 percent ). The areas of Bukhara, Jizzakh, Samarkand, Surkhandarya, and Tashkent utilize almost the same total amount of fertilizers, or around 8% each. The Navoi area has the lowest demand indication (3.3 percent ).
