Analysis
In 2050, nutrient nitrogen n (total) — nitrogen fertilizer content applied in Malawi stood at 41.50 million kg. That is the highest value across all 65 years on record.
Over the whole period, nutrient nitrogen n (total) — nitrogen fertilizer content applied in Malawi peaked at 41.50 million kg in 2050 and was at its lowest, 230,000 kg, in 1962.

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).
