Each country has to identify actionable programs in key policy and/or market development areas that a country can implement in the short-term (3 years) to boost its fertilizer sector and accelerate access to affordable fertilizers in a timely manner.  Countries will describe national trends in fertilizer use, and the availability of natural resources for fertilizer production.  Countries will also need to identify supply and demand constraints, safety net programs and existing measures, and priority areas for bold action.
