Manufacturers Optimistic on U.S. Sales of NPK, Micronutrients in 2021

摘要

IT'S BEEN A MIXED BAG when it comes to fertilizer in recent years. Ac-cording to data supplied by sister publication CropLife magazine's CropLife 100 survey, the nation's top ag retailers experienced a steep decline in revenue derived from fertilizerduring calendar year 2020. "Overall, (retail) revenues fell 6.6%, according to the data, from $13.7 billion in sales during 2019 to $12.8 billion (in 2020). This dropped the market share for crop nutrients among all crop inputs/services to 40% (of retailer revenue), down 3% from 2019," according to an article about the CropLife 100 survey.But like many things in agriculture, it comes down to timing.
