Fertilizer shipments to Canadian agriculture markets, by nutrient content and fertilizer year, cumulative data (x 1,000)^{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}

Historical annual nutrient content shipments data are available in archived CANSIM table 001-0065.

Fertilizer shipments include Canadian producers, wholesale distributors and retail distributors.

Nutrient content is derived by summing the percentage of each nutrient from the shipments of all fertilizer products.

Data are compiled on a fertilizer year basis starting July 1 and ending June 30 the following year.

Estimates for the most recent year are preliminary. Preliminary data are subject to revision. Due to rounding, components may not add to total (where applicable).

The 2014 fourth quarter estimates for Ammonia (NH3), Urea and Urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) have been corrected.

Data in this table had higher rates of estimation for the 2019/2020 fertilizer year, as a result of higher non-response rates for this period. These data may be subject to revision. For more information on estimation and imputation, refer to the Source (Surveys and Statistical programs) for this table.

The Canada shipments amount excludes British Columbia.

The phosphate tonnage includes amounts from all fertilizer products containing phosphates.

The sulphur tonnage includes amounts from all fertilizer products containing sulphur.
