Fertilizer stocks are the quantities of fertilizer products—such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium formulations—that producers, distributors or retailers have on hand in storage. By tracking these inventories, farmers and supply‐chain managers can assess current market availability, anticipate price fluctuations and plan timely nutrient applications. Monitoring fertilizer stocks is therefore critical for ensuring steady supply and optimizing crop nutrition strategies.
