market share, Coromandel International Ltd, 2022
The company offers organic fertilizers to improve soil health, which are derived from natural sources such as city waste, sugarcane molasses, oil cakes, and gypsum.
- In Brazil, more than 50% of organic producers are situated in Minas Gerais, Pernambuco, Paraná, São Paulo, and Rio Grande do Sul states. Brazil is one of the world's leading organic farming countries. Around 85,000 hectares of the organic cultivation area is dedicated to soybean, wheat, corn, sugarcane, and cotton.
- Manure dominated the Brazilian organic fertilizers market with a share of 66.4% in 2022. Among different manures, green manure is more efficient and widely used in agriculture. Green manuring can be defined as plowing or turning undecomposed green plant tissues into the soil to improve the physical structure and soil fertility. Green manure, which is high in nutrients and protects the soil, must be incorporated into the soil before the flowering stage.
- Meal-based fertilizers accounted for 20.2% of the Brazilian organic fertilizers market in 2022. These fertilizers are dry, often single-ingredient additives that can be added to soil mixes or incorporated with other dry and top-dressed fertilizers. Common meals used as fertilizers include blood meal (high nitrogen), bone meal (high phosphorus and calcium), and kelp meal (low NPK, rich in minerals). All of them offer unique benefits to growers cultivating crops with specific needs.
- Many non-edible oil cakes, such as castor, neem, Madhuca, Karanja, linseed, rapeseed, and cotton seed, can be used as organic manure because they contain high levels of plant nutrients.
- Increasing concerns over the excessive use of chemical fertilizers, growing adoption of organic and sustainable agricultural practices, and rising demand for organic products are expected to drive the Brazilian organic fertilizers market during the forecast period.

Brazil Organic Fertilizer Market Trends
The Country's regulatory laws enabled the expansion of organic cultivation, and cash crops are majorly producing crops under organic
- The area under organic cultivation of crops in Brazil was recorded at 13,758.7 hectares in 2021, as per the data provided by FibL Statistics. Organic agriculture in Brazil has grown considerably in the last twenty years, mainly due to the creation of specific laws and regulations.
- Between 2015 and 2017, the annual average growth of newly registered organic producers was 43% in Brazil. The Litoral Sul and Baixo Sul ITs, in the country's southern region, had the highest number of registered organic producers in Brazil. From 2018 to 2020, it fell to 4%, coinciding with a new political scenario, which was seen as a landmark in the scope of national agriculture, the end of federal departments responsible for agricultural development, and the expansion and flexibilization of the Brazilian pesticide market.
- Cash crops accounted for the maximum share of 86.3% in terms of organic crop cultivation in 2021, spanning 11,871.6 hectares across Brazil. The country is a significant grower of cash crops like sugarcane, cocoa, coffee, and cotton. Brazil is the largest sugarcane-growing county in the region. The prevalence of cash crops is followed by horticultural crops, which accounted for a 9.3% share with an organic cultivation area of 1,295.9 hectares in 2021. The primary fruit and vegetable crops grown in the country include oranges, carrots, potatoes, bananas, lemons, tangerines, and strawberries.
- Row crops accounted for 4.4% of Brazil's total organic crop cultivation in 2021, with an area of 591.2 hectares. The organic area under cultivation of row crops increased by 17.1% during the historical period. The replacement of chemical nitrogen with organic sources in Brazil has been associated with saving around USD 13.0 billion per annum, which is driving more farmers to take up organic farming of row crops.
