Some years, Statistics Norway has collected information from the holdings on average amount of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) per decare of cereals and oil-seeds and per decare of meadows on arable land. Yearly, the Norwegian Food Safety Authority prepares statistics on sold quantities of mineral fertilizer from wholesalers and importers. This statistics include sales outside agriculture.
