United States and World Fertilizer Outlook, 1974 and 1980

Economic Research Service

No 307504, Agricultural Economic Reports from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service

Abstract: Excerpts from the report Preface: The report addresses primary questions concerning the fertilizer situation. How tight is the current supply and demand balance? Where might shortages occur? What will be their intact? Is the current situation indicative of even larger shortages in the future? What barriers loom, and how can they be overcome? What policy measures are needed to correct the situation? Attention is directed to the situation and outlook in the United States and the world with emphasis on less developed countries. Because of inadequate data, the situation in individual States or localities within the United States could not be explicitly addressed. It should not be inferred, however, that the situation in these areas parallels that for the United States. Conditions vary considerably, and the severity of the problem in some areas greatly exceeds that for the United States in general.
