Trade import export nitrogen UK
Summary
The report details a methodology for assessing nitrogen movement through supply chains using UK trade data from 2017-2021 and UN Food and Agriculture Organization statistics. It identifies the top five agricultural and aquatic imports and exports by nitrogen mass and suggests expanding future research to include chemical and forestry commodities and country-specific flows.
Key insights
- Researchers developed a methodology to assess nitrogen movement through supply chains by analyzing nitrogen contained in traded agricultural and aquatic commodities in the UK over a five-year period from 2017 to 2021, utilizing statistics from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN.
- The authors recommend that future research should examine nitrogen flows for specific commodities from specific countries and include chemical and forestry commodities to provide a more comprehensive view of transboundary nitrogen movement in global trade.
