From January to September this year, fertilizer deliveries totaled 25.85 million tons, up 4.3% over the same period in 2017, according to data from the National Association for Diffusion of Fertilizers (Anda), released by Scot Consultoria .
According to Scot, the increase in delivery is a result of the increase in areas sown with grains in 2018/2019. Higher price levels for soybeans and corn, for example, favored exchange ratios with fertilizers this year, even in the face of higher fertilizer prices.
Considering only the result of September, fertilizer deliveries reached 4.25 million tons, a decrease of 12.0% in comparison with the immediately previous month and a slight increase of 0.3% in relation to September 2017.
The result is explained by the peak in fertilizer delivery, which this year happened in August.
