A delegation from the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Supply (Mapa), led by Minister Marcos Montes, visited, on May 7th, the Arab Potash Company (APC) factory in Jordan and received the news that the company may increase its potash-based fertilizer exports to Brazil. According to the company’s CEO, Maen Nsour, the total shipped to Brazil could reach 1.2 million tonnes in five years. The company should export 320 thousand tonnes of potash to Brazil in 2022. Jordan is the 7th largest producer of potash in the world. APC’s operations are located 110 km south of Amman, where the company produces four types of potash: standard, fine, granular and industrial potash. The Brazilian ambassador in Amman, Ruy Amaral, also participated in the visit. Brazil imports about 85% of all fertilizer used in national agricultural production. In the case of potassium, the imported percentage is around 95%.
