Analysis
Uganda recorded 22.78 million kg for nutrient nitrogen n (total) — synthetic fertilizers in 2050. That is the highest value across all 61 years on record.
Over the whole period, nutrient nitrogen n (total) — synthetic fertilizers in Uganda peaked at 22.78 million kg in 2050 and was at its lowest, 92,000 kg, in 1990.

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).
