IFA relaunches IFASTAT to improve access to global fertilizer market data
(Posted on 29/04/26)
At a time when the need for fertilizer market information has never been higher, the International Fertilizer Association (IFA) has updated its comprehensive website hosting decades of fertilizer market data, IFASTAT.
IFASTAT is a widely used source of global fertilizer supply, trade and consumption data, cited by the FAO, the USDA and leading researchers across the world. The website provides long-running datasets and related publications on global fertilizer markets, such as the IFA-led Fertilizer Use by Crop dataset – one of the longest-running and most widely cited global surveys of how fertilizers are applied across different crops and countries.
The redesigned website improves usability and navigation, making it easier to find, access and download IFA’s fertilizer market data and related publications. Global capacity, production and trade data are available from 2000, with fertilizer consumption data dating back to 1961.
The update brings IFA datasets together in a single environment and expands supporting documentation to help users understand the scope, definitions and limitations of the data.
Key improvements include:
Integrated data architecture: Consolidated IFA databases with improved search functionality and dynamic filtering, including API functionality to support more efficient data use.
Improved access to resources: A redesigned library with publications and materials more clearly signposted and easier to navigate.
Advanced visualisation tools: Dynamic dashboards enabling users to explore data by product, geography or region, with flexible filtering and customization.
New analytical content: 'Spotlight' analysis is featured, highlighting fertilizer market trends and developments.
IFA Director, Market Intelligence, Laura Cross, said, The new IFASTAT platform reflects the evolving role of data in fertilizer market education. Reliable, accessible and transparent market information is essential to understanding increasingly complex global dynamics, and this platform is designed to help users navigate that complexity with greater ease.
