China Chemical Fertilisers Sector Report 2025-2026

To satisfy its growing demand for crops and other agricultural products, China, the world's second most populous country and second biggest economy, needs fertilisers to improve its food supply and demand balance. The country has only 9% of the world's arable land, so it needs chemical fertilisers to boost crop yields and scale up agricultural production. According to the latest data from the World Bank, China uses 394kg of fertilisers per hectare of arable land, approximately 2.9 times the world average level. The excessive use of chemical fertilisers, however, is raising environmental and food safety concerns.
