Brazil's fertilizer imports reached a record high in 2025. According to a logistics bulletin released by Brazil's National Supply Company (Conab) in January, the country imported 45.5 million tons of fertilizer in 2025, marking a 2.68% increase from the 44.28 million tons imported in 2024.

This growth stems from Brazil's “Expansion and Yield Enhancement Strategy” for the 2025/2026 crop season. Mato Grosso, Paraná, and São Paulo states remain core fertilizer consumption regions, driven by record soybean and corn harvests in these areas.

According to Datamar data, Brazil's fertilizer import sources in 2025 were distributed as follows: Russian Federation: 32.2%, China: 26.1%, Canada: 10.1%, United States: 7.1%, Morocco: 6.4%, Egypt: 4.9%, Israel: 3.5%, Saudi Arabia: 3.5%, Nigeria: 3.4%, Qatar: 2.8%.

Datamar's statistical analysis indicates that Brazil's fertilizer imports from its three core trading partners will show overall growth in 2025, though import volumes will diverge among countries. Imports from Russia and China will increase by 3.3% and 37% respectively, while imports from the United States will decline by 18.7%.

Regarding import ports, Paranaguá in Paraná State remains Brazil's largest fertilizer import terminal, handling 10.89 million tons in 2025. Despite a 1.36% year-on-year decline in imports, the port still accounts for nearly a quarter of the nation's fertilizer imports. The most significant import growth occurred in the northern and northeastern port clusters of Brazil (collectively known as the Northern Arc Port Belt). Fertilizer imports in this region increased from 7.5 million tons in 2024 to 8.27 million tons in 2025. This highlights the trend toward decentralization in Brazil's fertilizer imports and the efficiency gains brought by newly established logistics channels. In contrast, Santos Port's fertilizer throughput in 2025 is projected at 8.42 million tons, a 5.18% decrease from the previous year. The port's market share has contracted due to the expansion of northern transport routes and the stabilization of southern logistics flows.
