Abstract
The manpower requirements are estimated for the fertilizer sector (production, marketing, and use) in sub-Saharan Africa from 1982/83 to 2002/3. The additional technical manpower requirements in sub-Saharan Africa over a 20-year period are about 15,917 persons for fertilizer production, 7959 for fertilizer marketing and 7958 for fertilizer use. It is estimated that, on the average, an additional 1592 persons will be required annually for the fertilizer sector. There is thus a need to establish —through both national and international organizations— appropriate fertilizer training facilities. This will relax serious manpower constraints in fertilizer sector development and thus will accelerate the contribution of fertilizer to economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa.
