China vs OECD: Nutrient nitrogen N (total) — Synthetic fertilizers (Agricultural use)
Nutrient nitrogen N (total) — Synthetic fertilizers (Agricultural use) over time
- China
- OECD
How they compare
China currently reports 31.25 billion kg against 29.42 billion kg in OECD, a difference of 1.82 billion kg.
That makes China's figure about 1.1 times OECD's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 65 shared years of data; in 1961 it was OECD ahead.
China ranks 1st and OECD ranks 3rd of 217 countries.
Across the 9 decades both report, China averaged higher in 2 and OECD in 7.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions from Crops provides estimates of emissions associated with crop processes, namely 1) crop residues, 2) burning of crop residues, and 3) rice cultivation and the application of nitrogen (N) fertilizers, including mineral and chemical fertilizers, to soils. Estimates are computed at Tier 1 following the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National greenhouse gas (GHG) Inventories (IPCC, 2006).
