Nigeria’s Fertilizer Consumption Rose By 63% In 2017 by Maol(m): 1:14am On Jun 27, 2018
The International Fertilizer Development Centre has predicted an exponential increase in fertilizer consumption by Nigerian farmers as a result of the remarkable improvements in the local blending of the input under the Presidential Fertilizer Initiative of the Federal Government.

According to a report recently released by the IFDC in collaboration with the Food and Agricultural Organisation and other international agencies, fertilizer uptake by Nigerian farmers increased by 63 per cent in 2017, rising from 959,364 metric tonnes in 2016 to 1,564,816 metric tonnes.

In contrast, Ghana recorded 82 per cent increase in fertilizer consumption, although unlike Nigeria that has totally eliminated subsidy from the system, Ghana’s increased consumption was driven by a spike in government subsidy programmes, the report stated.

The report, which also noted the increase in the exportation of Urea by Nigeria, stated that exports in the area increased from 329,630 metric tonnes in 2016 to 659,603mt in 2017, with over 50 per cent of the product going to Brazil.

It also highlighted some of the achievements being recorded in agriculture through the PFI and hinged the fertilizer growth enablers on the revival of blending plants with the active support of the Central Bank of Nigeria and other agencies of the government.

It also quoted a member of the Fertilizer Producers and Suppliers Association of Nigeria, Mr Gideon Negedu, as saying the industry in the country was targeting to produce more than one million metric tonnes of blended NPK fertilizer this year, adding that with increase in crop yield in mind, players had agreed to the introduction of more critical micro nutrients in fertilizer blending for the 2018 PFI programme.

The PFI is a programme of the Federal Government designed to ensure an increase in the local manufacturing of fertilizer through the revival of moribund blending plants and possible establishment of new ones.

Since the government began its implementation in 2017 in partnership with the Fertilizer Producers and Suppliers Association of Nigeria, fertilizer blends have become available all year round, with the price at N5,500, down from N11,000 and above in previous years.

If it did not reflect on increased harvest and reduced price of food items, how is it good?
Ayam not understanding.
The report is a confirmation of the returned corruption in the fertiliser sector that Akinwunmi Adesina and Jonathan fought and fixed.

The government of Buhari is doing well more than previous governments in deepning policies that will make the economy sustainable and self driven in a no distant time.
The only thing that is making the government unpopular is this killings which seems to have defied every approach aimed at arresting the situation.

The fulani cattle are the ones consuming the fertiliser indirectly. You plant and fertilise it the fulani cattle eat them. You resist, they kill you.

You are not in Nigeria. Adesina and your Jonathan never fixed any fertilizer. It's safe not to speak what you don't know, and worse to agree on your assumptions without a verifiable evidence. Please Google the cost of fertilisers, the state of their production and supplies to farmers before this government came in, so you have a better information.
And for prices of food items, please the truth is safer to say than lies. I am sure that prices of food items have been on downward trend since 2016. Yes, they went very high earlier as a result of recession and all that. The reason we truthfully know. But to say that no improvement is being recorded in this regard, is simply not a fact.

It did result in increase food productions. Food prices was down after 2017 harvest compared to 2016. Example is corn. A ton of corn was as high as 200k in 2016 which made many people farm corn that resulted in low prices

You are not well but nobody has told you so. Ogbe won't like to read this nonsense that contradicts his own opinion of Adesina input into the fertiliser system.

I bought a bag of fertiliser for close to #6000 in this country, I don't understand how and why this people lie, and they are saying we should go back to farm so that their cattles will come and feed on our crops right? I don't need a PVC I need a Visa.

This is a joke, right?

The farming belt has been in chaos since this government, if you can call it that, came in to power. Pray, tell, who was using the fertilizer?

I think it is safe to say the fertilizer cabal has returned, with a vengeance.
