Analysis
In 2050, nutrient nitrogen n (total) — synthetic fertilizers in Bhutan stood at 2.70 million kg. That is the highest value across all 48 years on record.
Over the whole period, nutrient nitrogen n (total) — synthetic fertilizers in Bhutan peaked at 2.70 million kg in 2050 and was at its lowest, 74,000 kg, in 1974.

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).
