Analysis
In 2014, nitrogen use efficiency in Turkmenistan stood at 24.2%. That is the lowest value across all 23 years on record.
That represents a change of down 10.3% on the previous year and down 69.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrogen use efficiency in Turkmenistan peaked at 132.4% in 1999 and was at its lowest, 24.2%, in 2014.
Turkmenistan ranks 154th of 205 countries on this measure, in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
Nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is the ratio between nitrogen inputs and output. A NUE of 40% means that only 40% of nitrogen inputs are converted into nitrogen in the form of crops.
