GROWING ADOPTION OF PREMIUM & SPECIALTY FERTILIZERS
Brazilian farmers increasingly invest in:
• Controlled-release fertilizers
• Water-soluble fertilizers
• Micronutrient blends
• Biofertilizers and microbial inputs
These improve yields, reduce nutrient loss, and fit Brazil’s high-value crop systems.

SOIL ACIDITY MANAGEMENT & LIMING TRENDS
Brazil's tropical soils are naturally acidic and low in nutrients. This drives strong demand for:
• Lime
• Gypsum
• Soil conditioners
Soil correction is essential before fertilizer application, influencing total annual fertilizer consumption.
