Other countries actively producing anhydrous ammonia in North America are Mexico, which produces 26,995 kilotons, and Trinidad, which produces about 2,370 kilotons. On a global scale, ammonia consumption as a fertilizer has been growing steadily since 1960, as shown in Table 32.5 (Lancaster, 1989 IFDC, 1989). The use of ammonia fertilizers is steadily growing in developing countries as the soil quality deteriorates over time. Urea is the most common form of ammonia fertilizer that is exported by the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and Romania (43%).
