Brazilian fertilizer imports up 5.4% in January

Brazil imported 3.16 million tonnes of fertilizers in January, up 5.4% from the same month in 2025, according to data released on Monday (6) by the National Association for the Dissemination of Fertilizers (ANDA). In January last year, imports totaled 3 million tonnes.

The figures do not yet reflect the impact of the war involving the United States and Israel against Iran, which began in late February and has been affecting the global fertilizer market. Countries in the Middle East are among the world’s leading suppliers of fertilizers and their inputs.

According to ANDA, total fertilizer deliveries to the Brazilian market reached 3.87 million tonnes in January 2026, a 5.3% increase from the same month a year earlier, when 3.67 million tonnes were sold. The state of Mato Grosso was the country’s largest market, accounting for 29.7% of total deliveries, or 1.14 million tonnes.
