In 2023, production stood at a higher level than seen in the following years. The forecast for 2024 shows a production value of 319.1 million kilograms, dropping by approximately 15% in 2025, 18% in 2026, 21% in 2027, and ending in 2028 with a 27% decrease compared to the previous year. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a consistent decrease in production volumes.

Future trends to watch for:

Supply chain disruptions or changes in raw material availability could further impact production.
Shifts in agricultural policy promoting sustainable practices might alter fertilizer consumption patterns.
Technological advancements in fertilizer efficiency could offset production declines.
