Study Overview
Like all living things, plants have certain nutritional needs that must be met to ensure their proper development. Four distinct needs have been scientifically identified: potassium(K), nitrogen(N), oxygen(O) and phosphorus(P). Although oxygen is naturally present in the air, it is often necessary to ensure the supply of the other three elements to ensure regular and high yields. Nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus are therefore the basis for chemical fertilizers, usually called "NPK fertilizers." These fertilizers are also called mineral fertilizers. Another category of fertilizers is natural or organic fertilizers (produced from plant or animal matter). Fertilizers are used to fertilize the soil. The goal is to increase agricultural yields to meet the world's growing demand for food. The size of the global fertilizer market was about US$201.45 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow to about US$261.81 billion by 2023, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 3.33 percent between 2023 and 2030.
