The forecast data for nitrogen fertilizer use on crops in Japan indicates a year-on-year decline from 2024 to 2028. The values decrease consistently, suggesting a downtrend in nitrogen application per hectare. In 2023, the use stood higher than the projected 79.07 kg/ha in 2024. The average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this forecast period shows a steady reduction in use per year.
Future trends to watch include:
- Advancements in precision agriculture that could further decrease fertilizer usage through optimized application rates.
- Continued focus on sustainable farming practices, potentially impacting nitrogen fertilizer demand.
- Policy changes targeting environmental sustainability that could encourage reduction in nitrogen application.
