Based on gridcell-level estimates of wheat yields, and response to nutrient application, together with gridcell-specific estimates of fertilizer and maize prices, this spreadsheet model assesses the profitability of fertilizer application in Ethiopia.
Profitability is assessed at three levels of fertilizer application (0%, 50%, and 100% of recommended fertilizer rates). The spreadsheet tool estimates the production area over which fertilizer use is profitable and the aggregate net revenue increase under a range of price assumptions the user can adjust, e.g., international wheat price, transportation costs, state-level production costs, fertilizer price, and cut-off lines of profitability (minimum profitability and VCR).
