The Eastern African Region is subdivided into a member of sub-regions or zones determined by differences in rainfall and temperature. The interrelation of these climatic factors with soil and water resources determines the type of natural vegetation and also, to a large extent, the agricultural potential. Because of variation in altitudes, temperature as well as rainfall is a major climatic factor in the Eastern region, which extends from the arid of low altitude in the horn of Africa southward across the plateaus and highlands of East Africa. The East African, sub-region is on the whole ‘more advanced in fertilizer consumption than the other sub-regions of tropical Africa. But one easily sees' that the consumption of fertilizers is still at the very low level of kg per hectare. Consumption varies' significantly in different countries, from practically none in Ethiopia, Somalia, Burundi and Rwanda too high in Mauritius and Reunion, of the large countries, Rhodesia has moderate fertilizer consumption of 33,3 kg/ha which-shows-notable signs of increasing significantly in the future.
