In 2025, Brazil recorded unprecedented fertilizer imports at 44.96 million tons, marking a 2.9% increase from the previous year. This trend is driven by farmers' strategies to cut production costs by favoring low-concentration fertilizers, such as ammonium sulfate and single superphosphate. The implications of this shift are significant, both agronomically and logistically, as farmers must adjust their application volumes to meet required fertilization levels. Challenging economic conditions and international market dynamics will continue to influence purchasing decisions in 2026.
