low and imbalanced fertilizer use...

[Fertiman]

Africa’s low crop productivity has many causes, including limited use of modern agricultural practices, inadequate markets for farm products and low annual rainfall in some countries. Low and imbalanced fertilizer use (illustrated in the graph on the right) is potentially the single largest contributor to low yields. Crop yields in Sub-Saharan Africa are estimated to be less than 25 percent of what is economically attainable. Potash and phosphate use in most Sub-Saharan countries is a fraction of the total used in other developing markets. 
An effective way to educate farmers is through demonstration. Working alongside farmers in Kenya, researchers demonstrated that balanced fertilizer application can more than double corn yields, compared to the farmers’ traditional method of crop management. We believe these success stories will eventually encourage wider adoption of best practices throughout Africa. -
