Analysis
Congo recorded 226,333 kg for nutrient nitrogen n (total) — synthetic fertilizers in 2050.
Over the whole period, nutrient nitrogen n (total) — synthetic fertilizers in Congo peaked at 4.60 million kg in 1971 and was at its lowest, 9,000 kg, in 2005.

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).
