# Fertilizers: imports fall 14.7% and price rises 12.6%

> Brazil imported 32.68 million tonnes of fertilizer from January to October 2026, down 14.7% from the same period of 2025, while the average import price rose 12.6%. Farmers delayed purchases amid tight margins and more expensive credit, and rural loan delinquencies rose sharply. Industry expects only gradual volume recovery in 2027.

## Why it matters

Lower Brazilian fertilizer demand and higher import prices signal weaker farm input affordability, which can reduce future planted area and crop output and shift feed-grain and meal supply expectations.
