Fertilizer deliveries to the domestic market are expected to increase by 7.7% in 2025, according to data from Anda.

According to the National Association for the Diffusion of Fertilizers (ANDA), fertilizer deliveries to the Brazilian market totaled 49.11 million tons in 2025, representing a 7.7% increase compared to the 45.61 million tons recorded in 2024. The current performance of fertilizer deliveries is aligned with the growth of the grain harvest, which reached 346.1 million tons in 2025 and 292.5 million tons in 2024, according to IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics). In December alone, 3.83 million tons were produced, a volume 6.3% higher than the 3.60 million tons recorded in December 2024. Regionally, Mato Grosso maintained its leadership in deliveries, concentrating 23.2% of the national total, with 11.40 million tons throughout 2025. Next are Paraná, with 5.87 million tons, São Paulo (5.23 million), Rio Grande do Sul (4.85 million), Goiás (4.75 million), Minas Gerais (4.70 million), and Bahia (3.12 million). National Production: National production of intermediate fertilizers closed the year with 7.22 million tons, a 2.5% increase over the 7.04 million tons produced in 2024. In December, however, there was a decrease: 494,000 kilos, a 14.8% drop compared to the same month of the previous year. Imports remained the main source of supply. In the accumulated total for 2025, Brazil imported 43.32 million tons of intermediate fertilizers, a 4.8% increase compared to the 41.34 million tons acquired in 2024. In December, external purchases totaled 3.62 million tons, a 5.2% increase compared to the same month of the previous year. The port of Paranaguá remained the main entry point for fertilizers into the country. Throughout 2025, 10.76 million tons were unloaded by the terminal, a 4% increase compared to the 10.34 million tons registered in 2024. This volume represented 24.80% of the total imported by all Brazilian ports, according to data consolidated by ANDA. According to Elias Lima, president of the board of Anda, “In 2025, even in the face of a challenging scenario marked throughout the year by climatic instabilities, fluctuations in logistical costs, and a still-pressured economic environment, the sector maintained its commitment to the rural producer. Fertilizer deliveries occurred regularly and in an organized manner, ensuring predictability for crop planning. This performance was fundamental to ensuring productivity in the field and contributing to achieving a record harvest, reinforcing the strategic role of the input supply chain for Brazilian agribusiness.”
