8 The FAO/Fertilizer Organizations Working Group met in Nairobi, Kenya, in June 2014 to review the prospects for fertilizer demand and supply, and prepared the forecasts. The African Fertilizer and Agribusiness Partnership (AFAP) and the Fertilizer Association of Southern Africa (FERTASA) provided special regional contributions and presentations. The Working Group comprised: Fertilizers Europe (unable to attend). FAI Fertiliser Association of India IFA International Fertilizer Industry Association IFDC International Center for Soil Fertility and Agricultural Development K+S K+S KALI GmbH (participation by teleconference). TFI The Fertilizer Institute (unable to attend).

9 FAO Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Annex 1 presents explanatory notes on potential supply, demand and balance. Annexes 2, 3, and 4 present world and regional fertilizer demand forecasts for nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, respectively. Annexes 5, 6 and 7 present world and regional potential supply, demand and balances for the three primary nutrients. Nameplate capacity, operating rates and demand for fertilizers vary from year to year. Annex 8 provides the regional and subregional country groupings. All references relating to fertilizers are in terms of three primary nutrients, viz., nitrogen (N), phosphate (P2O5) and potash (K2O).

10 The fertilizer demand and supply data refer to the calendar year. vi i World fertilizer trends and outlook to 2018. FAO, in collaboration with experts from the Working Group dealing with fertilizer production, consumption and trade, annually provides five-year forecasts of world and regional fertilizer supply, demand and potential balance.
