Based on data from the Brazilian Secretariat for Foreign Trade (Secex) as of November 2025 Brazil has imported a total of 9.77 million tons of fertilizers from China 50 000 tons slightly more than from Russia making China Brazil's largest fertilizer supplier Ammonium sulfate is the main fertilizer imported by Brazil and a key factor driving the growth of total imports China and Russia have similar fertilizer export volumes to Brazil yet China's exports registered a 51% year-on-year increase while Russia's only rose by 5.6% showing a significant difference in growth rates global agricultural trade is undergoing a new round of restructuring and China's strategic role in Brazil's fertilizer supply chain is becoming increasingly prominent.
China-Pakistan one-way trade patterns have shifted historically China served as Brazil's largest agricultural product buyer while Chinese products now access Brazil's agricultural market with $6.1 billion worth of related agricultural imports to Brazil as of October marking a 24% year-on-year increase from 2024 fertilizer supply volumes show the most significant changes this ranking adjustment reflects the combined impact of market policy and global shifts rather than random factors representing an inevitable trend in social development China's export growth to Brazil is primarily driven by increased ammonium sulfate volumes aligning with Brazil's agricultural demand while Russia retains traditional advantages in potash exports.
Brazil the world's largest fertilizer importer meets 85% of its fertilizer demand through overseas suppliers including China and Russia this has shaped a diversified supply pattern in the global agricultural input market reduced potential food security risks for Brazil arising from single supply source disruptions addressed the core issue and formed a differentiated competition landscape featuring Chinese cost-effective products and Russia's traditional advantageous offerings better aligning with the trend of global resource optimization and allocation.
Industry statistics indicate Brazil's fertilizer demand is expected to reach a new high in 2025 and maintain growth momentum in 2026 driven by the expansion of arable land and increased investment in agricultural science and technology Brazil's greater investment in agriculture and deepened trade cooperation with China have established China as an indispensable partner in Brazil's agricultural supply chain.
Long-term global population growth and rising food demand will continue to drive the expansion of China's fertilizer market surging demand in emerging markets including Europe the Middle East and Southeast Asia has provided broader space for China's fertilizer exports China will further enhance technological innovation to improve product quality and environmental performance continuously optimize global marketing networks and logistics distribution systems to boost trade efficiency and customer experience this major milestone represents an important breakthrough in China's fertilizer "going global" and highlights China's strategic value in the global agricultural supply chain paving the way for a more efficient stable and global new pattern of agricultural trade.
