9. Utilization

This table shows the usage of products imported over the past four years.
Products like Ammonium nitrate are imported and mostly used for industrial purpose.
Other products like Urea can be used for both agricultural and industrial purpose depending on the importers.

10. Consumption [Apparent]
Source: MAAIF
At the moment, we are yet to get actual consumption of fertilizers in Uganda, therefore, all available consumption are apparent.
In 2013, the total apparent consumption of fertilizers in Uganda was 50,889MT
Comparing the total apparent consumption of fertilizers over the years shows that, apparent consumption of fertilizers keeps increasing.
Apparent Consumption = Production + Imports – Exports – Non-Fertilizer Use

11. NPK analysis
Source: MAAIF
NPK’s were the most imported fertilizers accounting for 67.8% of all NPK complex fertilizers imported to Uganda in 2013
