# Brazil Faces Severe Phosphorus Shortage Impacting Fertilizer Production and Crop Nutrition

> Brazil is facing exceptionally low fertilizer carryover stocks as a phosphorus shortage has nearly halted domestic phosphate fertilizer production. Conflict-related logistics disruptions have cut sulfur imports by 50%, and phosphate fertilizer production is expected to fall by more than 50%; farmers are projected to apply 22% less P2O5 this year than last year.

## Why it matters

Lower sulfur imports and phosphate output constrain fertilizer availability in Brazil, potentially supporting phosphate fertilizer prices and reducing nutrient application. Reduced application could also weigh on crop yield potential and future feed-grain supply.
