Brazil strives for self-sufficiency

“The Ukraine crisis highlighted Brazil’s vulnerability in potassium and phosphate supply, most of which is imported. A strategic planning opportunity arises here, particularly regarding the taxation differences between imported and domestically produced fertilizers.”
Luiz Vessani, President, EDEM Projetos

“Although Brazil has a huge potential to increase fertilizer production, the country is still far from self-sufficient. The good news is that the country continues to move forward.”
- Felipe Coutas, Country Manager, Itafos
