Necessity of the informationNecessity of the information Consumption of mineral fertilizers, like all agri-environmental indicators,
are important in the assessment of over-time trends of the agricultural effects on environment;
Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) are «primary» nutrients and they are the main nutrients limiting crop growth in agriculture;
Losses of N and P into the wider environment have major ecological impact;
Indicator ‘consumption of mineral fertilizers’ is very important for the calculation of: N and P balances; Ammonia emissions; Greenhouse gas emissions.
Indicator can be calculated in a uniform way, which facilitates comparison between regions and over time.

Countries responded to the questionnaire A. Inter-agancy cooperation mechanisms to produce the indicator. Responsible institutions for data compilation:
Ministry of Agriculture and State agencies, Municipalities, customs and other National statistics
ConclusionsConclusions 11 countries filled in the questionnaire; 63% of the countries indicated that the body responsible for the data
compilation on fertilizers is national statistical institution; Only Ukraine mentioned an issue related to interagency cooperation –
there is a problem of the coordination between institutions involved in data compilation from one side and national statistical institution being responsible for the compilation of country totals from other side.
HOW THE CURRENT SITUATION MAY BE IMPROVED As proposal for EU Member States suggests to set up national workgroups,
also EECCA countries could organize national workgroup to discuss problems on fertilizer statistics;
Free to choose members, they could be: national statistical office, relevant ministries, agricultural institutes, fertilizer industry etc.

Quality assurance - conclusionsQuality assurance - conclusions
4 countries (Kazakhstan, Moldova, Russian Federation, Ukraine) set up arithmetical and logical control procedures, and in case of mistakes, corrections are made;
Georgia described the problems; Uzbekistan did not leave answer to the question; In case of Tajikistan reply is too general and it is not possible to make
some conclusions.HOW CURRENT SITUATION CAN BE IMPROVED
Accuracy and completeness are the key aspects of quality; Try to describe what quality control procedures have been applied by the
responsible institution (not only mentioned responsible institution); Additional methodological and explanatory information on the issue is
needed.

ConclusionsConclusions
18
11 countries replied to the questionnaire and indicated that they have statistics on consumption of mineral and organic fertilizers;
6 countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russian Federation, Ukraine) have been admitted to gather data on use of fertilizers;
Ukraine indicated the problem with complex mineral fertilizers recalculation in 100% of nutrient, thus total for the country have not been indicated;
Ukraine indicated also problems with coordination between the institutions involved in data compilation.
(continued)(continued)
Russian Federation calculated data on use of fertilizers on sown areas; Additional problems have been indicated:
Survey on the use of fertilizers includes only agricultural organizations (without microenterprises).
Data on complex mineral fertilizers are included in respective type of fertilizers;
Georgia: national statistics office indicated that data of the survey on fertilizer use are not reliable, thus there are no data for fertilizers phosphate and potash, however table indicates the data on total consumption and nitrogen fertilizers consumption what are not similar figures;
There is no data on production, that is the reason why it is not possible to use formula.
19
((continuedcontinued))
Tajikistan indicated that statistics on fertilizer consumption is not available per fertilizer type;
Several countries are using some data quality checks, but there is no easy accessible information about the quality of the data;
The most urgent needs for data are: Annual N and P mineral fertilizer use in tons of nutrients; N fertilizers in tons broken down by grassland and arable/permanent crops; This official statistics should be also the basis for the reporting to UN
Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), UN Convention on Long Range- Transboundary Air Pollution (CLTRP), FAO, OESD etc.
