Fertilizer Affordability Model

A professional analytics platform that tracks the relationship between fertilizer prices and crop prices over time, calculating Barter Ratios and Affordability Indices to support evidence-based agricultural policy and investment decisions.

Core Analytical Metrics

Two key indicators that quantify fertilizer affordability relative to crop revenues

Barter Ratio

Fertilizer Price ÷ Crop Price

Higher ratio = less affordable fertilizer

Affordability Index

(Base Period Ratio ÷ Current Ratio) × 100

Higher index = better affordability
