1 BackgroundFor the past five (5) years International Fertilizer Development Center (IFDC), through AfricaFertilizer.org initiative have been working with the CountrySTAT program of FAO to produce and disseminate, reliable and up-to-date official statistics on fertilizer trade, production and consumption in countries within Sub Saharan Africa (SSA).
In 2012, Fertilizer Technical Working Groups (FTWG) were established in 11 sub-Saharan Africa countries, including Ghana and Nigeria. These working groups have been responsible for the review of the fertilizer data, presentation of tables of results of collated data for validation by the National Technical Working Group before publication.
The main goal of the data processing, cleaning and validation activities is primarily to measure and know the actual quantity of fertilizer our farmers are using (consuming) in agriculture. As a result, there are challenges and complexities in gathering all the required data to measure the ACTUAL consumption of fertilizer.
In view of these challenges, we adopted a methodology that relied on data of fertilizer Trade, Production and Non Agriculture use gathered from administrative sources to measure the APPARENT consumption of fertilizer by our farmers. The basic formula used for estimation is
Apparent Consumption = Production + Imports – Exports – Non Fertilizer Use
Under this partnership, CountrySTAT and AfricaFertilizer.org agreed to organize a workshop to validate the national statistics on fertilizers every year. The validation is assumed to be reliable and robust enough to be used for asserting various forecasts, quantity of nutrient used and apparent consumption among others.
The main objectives of this year’s workshop were to;
1. Present, review, process and validate detailed 2017 statistical data on production, imports, exports, apparent and actual fertilizer consumption for Ghana and Nigeria.
2. Update 2010-2017 series of statistics3. Update participants on current fertilizer programs and initiatives
2 IntroductionThe opening ceremony of the workshop was chaired by the Senior Fertilizer Market Specialist of IFDC and the Coordinator of AfricaFertilier.org; Patrice Annequin. It commenced with self-introduction of participants and the adjustment and adoption of the agenda for day one. He then gave an overview of the AfricaFertilizer.org initiative and took participants through the website to show them how information that are collected on fertilizers in SSA are readily available for free. Participants were impressed because
2
the website contained a lot of information that is not easy to find but were also more impressed with graph reports that are automatically generated on the website and are easily downloadable.
He charged the experts to carefully look at the available data, identify the purpose of importation and classify accordingly to get the best statistics for each country as the output tables generated would feed the CountrySTAT system for both Ghana and Nigeria but can also be used by FAO, ECOWAS, Policy makers as well as private sectors.

2.1 Updates on current programs2.1.1 CountrySTAT GhanaSamuel Mortey, Head of Trade Statistics with the Ghana Statistical Service delivered the welcome address on behalf of the Ghana CountrySTAT National Coordinator who was unavoidably absent because of his involvements in the process of the conduct of Ghana National Agricultural Census. He pointed out that for some years now, FAO through CountrySTAT program have not been providing funds to support the activity, therefore, the data validated during the workshop will be uploaded on the new CountrySTAT website as soon as possible
2.1.2 CountrySTAT Nigeria
Similarly, the Nigeria National Coordinator of CountrySTAT; Raphael Dare Olorunmola in his presentation explained the structure of CountrySTAT system and status of data availability before its creation. He said while efforts are being made to secure funds for the sustainability of the system, the team took advantage of the social media, interacted with the CountrySTAT Desk officer, initiated moves for the creation of Agricultural Data Consultative Committee, participated in data harmonization committee, collaborated with data users and maintained collaborations with FAO. In the same vein, he promised to publish fertilizer data after validation and concluded that CountrySTAT Nigeria’s future was bright in-spite of the current setbacks.
2.1.3 2016 Fertilizer Trade Statistics OverviewsAfricaFertilizer.org’s Fertilizer Statistics and Database Specialist, Fred Gyasi gave a clear perspective of fertilizer statistics overview of Ghana 2013 – 2016 while Felix Nwoche of Notore presented the 2013 -2016 fertilizer statistics overview for Nigeria. Participants raised few questions on why importation of fertilizer component from abroad persisted, the difference between some types of fertilizers, the
3
advantages of granular versus prilled urea, why Nigeria export Urea when domestic consumption are not satisfied and appropriate answers were provided by the experts.

2.1.4 Methodology and Data ProcessingOn the methodology of carrying out validation for 2017 data, Fred, took participants through detailed explanation of data cleaning and processing. He explained the basic information that has to be present to process fertilizer data as well as the required detailed information necessary to help in making analysis. He explained how various tools in excel are being used for the data validation. The processes of validation involved the division of the FTWG into two syndicate groups according to nationality in order to verify import and export data provided by each country.
2.1.5 Group Work SessionThe participants were divided into two (2) groups according to nationality. The import data was reviewed and validated by the Nigerian team comprising of representatives from FEPSAN, NOTORE, NBS, OCP, TAK, FISS, CountrySTAT and Customs. The process of validation was done by identifying the quantity and the individual import organizations of these fertilizers in order to ascertain whether it was used for industrial or Agricultural purposes. In the case of Nigeria, there was need for further classification of NPK according to its component; this implies the use of bill of laden to explain what type of NPK was imported. To bring the activities of Nigeria Group to a close for the day, the group
4
concluded that while verification was on going, the customs officer should make necessary contacts and give details during the next day’s activities.

The Ghana team comprising of participants from the public sector (Ghana Statistical Service, Ministry of Food and Agriculture and the Ghana Revenue Authority) and the private sector (MicroFertil, OmniFert, RMG Ghana, Yara Ghana and OCP Ghana) validated imports and exports data by crosschecking with their actual imports and export figures as well as separating products that were not for agricultural use from the bulky data. The validation exercise was done till the end of day one.

3.1.1 Fertilizer ProductionThere is no primary production of inorganic fertilizers in Ghana. Four of the major importing companies; Yara Ghana, Chemico Limited, MicroFertil and OmniFert are involved in secondary production (blending) of fertilizer formulations, fully operational with varied capacities located in the port city of Tema (Yara, Chemico), Kpong (MicroFertil) and Dawhenya (OmniFert). A small percentage of organic fertilizer is also produced locally by ACARP, Safisana and JEKORA Ventures. GloFert is setting up a blending plant at Teacher Mantey to also blend different grades of fertilizers.
3.1.2 Fertilizer ImportsFertilizer imports to Ghana increased from 239,883mt in 2016 to 444,236mt in 2017, about 85% increase as shown in the table below.

3.1.3 Fertilizer ExportsFertilizer exports from Ghana are very low. In 2016, there were about 25mt of organic fertilizer exports whiles in 2017 there were 75mt of organic fertilizers and 3,500mt of NPK’s exported from Ghana to neighbouring Burkina Faso and Togo.
3.1.4 Fertilizer Apparent ConsumptionThere was tremendous increase of 82 percent in apparent consumption as against the previous year. The increase was mostly due to two subsidy programs that run simultaneously in 2017 (the normal Fertilizer Subsidy and the Planting for Food and Jobs).

3.1.5 2018 Agricultural Census in GhanaSamuel Mortey, Head of Trade Statistics in Ghana informed members that all was set for the conduct of Ghana National Agricultural Census after 33 years and would be completed in 60days. The Ghana government provided the financial support while developments partners gave technical assistance where necessary.
3.1.6 Planting for Food and Jobs (PFJ) 2018Mr Michael Owusu of Ministry of Food and Agriculture made a presentation on Ghana’s Planting for Food and Jobs (PFJ). Having explained the success story of the program in terms of provision of about 745,000 jobs, extensive involvement of private sectors, the increase in cluster of crop production, readiness of farmers to pay 50 percent down payment, the use of coupon and tracking of illegalities through task force, plans to import more seed from Nigeria, it was believed that 2017 fertilizer apparent consumptionincreased because of the various subsidy programs in 2017.

3.2.1 Fertilizer ProductionThere is primary production of granulated urea fertilizer in Nigeria by Notore Chemical Industries PLC and Indorama Group. Notore is upgrading their production capacity from 500,000mtpy to 750,000mtpy whiles Indorama is also upgrading their capacity from 1.5 million mtpy to 3 million mtpy. There is also production of SSP but it’s on hold because of the Presidential Fertilizer Initiatives (PFI) in Nigeria. Dangote is also building a urea plant with a capacity of 3 million mtpy which is expected to be completed in 2020.

3.2.2 Fertilizer ImportsThe trend for fertilizer imports to Nigeria changed downward but there was increase in imports of MOP and DAP in 2017 as compared to 2016. There was reduction in the importation of Urea because of the PFI Blenders used locally produced urea with imported DAP and MOP to produce NPK 20 10 10 for local farmers in Nigeria. There was a 35% increase in fertilizer imports to Nigeria in 2017 compared to 2016 as shown in the table below.

3.2.3 Fertilizer ExportsThe increase in the production of urea in Nigeria also affected the exportation of the fertilizer positively. Urea exports increased from 329,630mt in 2016 to 659,603mt in 2017. More than half of the urea produced were exported to Brazil.
3.2.4 Fertilizer Apparent ConsumptionApparent consumption of fertilizers in Nigeria increased from 959,364mt in 2016 to 1,564,816mt in 2017, about 63% increase mostly due to the Presidential Fertilizer Initiative (PFI) as well as high production of urea although carry-over stocks were unknown.

3.2.5 Presidential Fertilizer Initiative (PFI) in NigeriaSimilarly, Mr Negedu Gideon of Fepsan, gave the historical background of the PFI project which focuses on production of NPK 20 10 10. He enumerated the feats achieved by the projects which included; the involvement of big players such as Dangote, Indorama and Notore in the implementations of the project, the addition of 8 more blending plants to the already existing 15 which now sums up to 22 blending plant, the agreement with OCP for 3 years to produce DAP from 2017-2019, the involvement of the Office of the National Security Advisor (ONSA) in ensuring proper distribution of the urea raw materials to the blending plants, the plan to produce 1million metric ton of NPK in 2018, the available 180,000 MT of NPK carried over from 2017, 40,000 MT of MOP, 42,000 MT of DAP to arrive in Nigeria in May 2018, the introduction of micro nutrient in blending the 2018 PFI products, fund to be provided from Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and increments in the importation of blending raw material were an indication that production of fertilizer would swing upwards in no time. He highlighted logistics and uneven spread of blending plant in the program as major challenges encountered in 2017, as some distributors had to uptake from a far state which increased the cost of the product.
3.2.6 Fertilizer Use By Crop StudyIn the bid to carry out the fertilizer use by crop survey currently being conducted by AfricaFertilizer.org, a consultant Mr. Ayo Balogun was contracted to work with Mr. Samuel Ali on that study, having encountered some challenges and in order to bridge data gap on data unavailability, Mr Samuel Ali of IFDC gave a comprehensive account of the various challenges being faced. Field data such as land area, farm size, quantity of crop produced, type of fertilizer used and quantity applied are very difficult to access from some of the partners even though they have them within their organizations. After series of suggestions, it was agreed that fertilizer template should be sent to participants to further facilitate access to data.
3.3 Brief Presentation from the Private SectorThe private sectors at the workshop, namely; Notore, OminFert, OCP, RMG, MacroFertil (formerly, LDC), YARA, TAK and FEPSAN gave a good account of their individual company profiles and their involvements in the fertilizer sector.
3.4 Analysis of Apparent Consumption for the two (2) CountriesThere was a slight decrease in fertilizer apparent consumption in Ghana in 2016 as compared to 2015 (-17%) and an increase (84%) from 2016 to 2017.The fertilizer apparent consumption in Nigeria has been increasing since 2015, 55% increase from 2015 to2016 and 63% increase from 2016 to 2017 and it is expected to increase again in 2018. However, carry- over stocks were unknown.

4 Workshop Recommendations and Conclusion
After series of deliberations, the participants recommended that: Fertilizer Use By Crop template should be sent to all participants to facilitate data collection.
The annual meeting held once a year to validate fertilizer statistics adopted by FTWG at inception will not be changed.It was proposed that the FTWG validation workshop should be held in early part of the year so that the information can also be used early. (during first quarter)Webinar conference may be organized for a refresher course on excel analysis to process fertilizer data.
Port Authorities should be invited to subsequent meeting in addition to Customs for Nigeria. 2019 workshop shall be held in Nigeria

5.3 Terms of referenceContext and justification
Since 2012, IFDC, through AfricaFertilizer.org, has been working with the CountrySTAT program of FAO to produce and disseminate, reliable and up-to-date official statistics on fertilizer manufactured, imported, exported and consumed in countries within West Africa.
In 2012, fertilizer technical working groups (FTWG) were established in 11 sub-Saharan Africa countries, including Ghana and Nigeria. These working groups have been responsible for the review of the data and the presentation of tables of results of these statistics which will be later validated by the National Technical Working Group before publication.
Under this partnership, CountrySTAT, AfricaFertilizer.org and the West African Fertilizer Association(WAFA) have agreed to organize a workshop to validate the national statistics on fertilizers for the year2017.
Objectives of the workshop
The purpose of the workshop is to:
4. Present, review, process and validate detailed 2017 statistical data on production, imports, exports, apparent and actual fertilizer consumption for Ghana, and Nigeria.
5. Update 2010-2017 series of statistics6. Update participants on current fertilizer programs and initiatives
Expected results of the workshop
At the end of this workshop, participants will have prepared the statistical output tables inCountrySTAT format on production, trade and fertilizer consumption for the year 2017.
These tables will then be presented to National CountrySTAT Technical Working Groups for validation and then official publication on the CountrySTAT website of the participating countries.
Participation in the workshop
National institutions invited to take part in this workshop are:
The Ministry of Food Agriculture – Ghana Customs Service - Ghana Customs Service - Nigeria The National Secretariat of CountrySTAT – Ghana & Nigeria Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) Farm Inputs Support Service Department of Federal Fertilizer Department (FFD/FMARD) –
Nigeria National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) – Nigeria

Organization and methodology of work
Participating institutions and organizations are invited to gather and share with the National Secretariat of CountrySTAT and with IFDC data available at their level concerning:
• The production capacity and the production of fertilizer• Imports and Exports (in Raw format - see below)• The actual fertilizer consumption, their use by crops and by cultivated areaThe data collected will be pre-formatted by the experts of IFDC and AfricaFertilizer.org initiative
These data will then be analyzed and validated during group work by countries, with the technical assistance of IFDC and CountrySTAT. The results will be finally presented in plenary; recommendations will be made to ensure a wide dissemination of these results and improve the quality of the information collected.
Format of the data
For the data on imports and exports
The d i s a g g r e g a t ed d a t a of imports and exports, generally available at the level of customs services and points of entry and exit of fertilizers (Port Authorities)Note that only the a g g r e g a te d d a t a by product and per year are published. The information relating to the operators or the values are only used to verify and validate the types of fertilizer, the volumes and the agricultural or non-agricultural use of these fertilizers, but are not published.
The data are to be provided in Excel format to allow for a thorough analysis by the participants.Scanned files or in pdf are excluded. They must contain the following information:
o The customs codes in the format Harmonized System HSo The exact description of the goods in addition to the customs indexo The net volume in kg or in tonso The value (local currency, or in US Dollar)o The name of the importer or the Exportero The country of origin and/or destinationo The date of the operation (day/month/year)
