On August 23, the 9th edition of the Brazilian Fertilizer Congress organized by Anda, the Brazilian National Fertilizers Association. addressed the main difficulties faced by national producers concerning access to fertilizer at a time of global logistics chaos caused by the pandemic and war. Nearly 80% of all fertilizers used in Brazil are imported. Much of this comes from Russia. In the period from January to June 2022, the leading fertilizer suppliers to Brazil were: Russia (18%), China (10%), Canada (8%), the United States (8%), Spain ( 5%) Morocco, Israel, and Egypt, with 4% each. Brazil, as the world’s fourth largest global food producer, only trailing behind China, the United States and India, plays an important role in the global supply of food, exporting a large part of its produce, which makes access to fertilizers essential.
