It is understood that from January to October 2010, according to the amount of deductions, Brazil's fertilizer shipments rose as high as 7.6%. Thanks to the high demand for sugarcane, coffee, rice and cotton, the nitrogenous fertilizer delivery volume reached 2.19 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 6.3%. The reduced fertilization demand for corn and wheat resulted in 2.82 million tons of P2O5 phosphate fertilizer deliveries, a decrease of 3.4% year-on-year. The use of potash increased by 20.4% year-on-year, reaching 3.13 million tons of K2O and returning to the highest level in history.
According to the latest forecast by Brazilian domestic market analysts, in 2010, the domestic chemical fertilizer market in Brazil will reach at least 23.5 million tons of chemical fertilizers, an increase of 4.6% year-on-year.
