Global trends in the use of organic fertilisers
In highly industrialised countries with advanced agriculture, such as the United States, Japan and the United Kingdom, organic fertilisers already account for about 50% of total fertiliser use. This is, of course, far above the level of natural fertiliser use in Poland, where mineral fertilisers still dominate. Consumption of organic fertilisers is concentrated in regions with a high level of economic development and a large share of industrial farming. Western Europe remains the leader with about 31.8% of global use, followed closely by North America (29.9%) and Asia-Pacific (21.7%). This shows that the growth of the organic fertiliser market goes hand in hand with pro-environmental policies, the technological level of agriculture and growing demand for high-quality food.

The fertiliser market in Poland
Our analysis of the fertiliser market in Poland shows that nitrogen fertilisers dominate, with nitro-chalk, urea and ammonium nitrate being the most important. Poland accounts for 1.2% of global fertiliser production (1.5% for nitrogen fertilisers) and 18% of EU fertiliser production (20.3% for nitrogen fertilisers).
Natural fertilisers play a key role in organic farming, which is becoming more important in Poland. Using organic fertilisers is in line with sustainable development and helps to improve soil quality and protect the environment. Poland is a net importer of natural fertilisers. In 2023 Poland accounted for 0.4% of global natural fertiliser exports and 2.8% of imports. This means that domestic demand for natural fertilisers exceeds domestic production, so they have to be imported.
