The port of Paranaguá remained the main entry point for fertilizers in the country. Throughout 2025, 10.76 million tons were unloaded through the terminal, an increase of 41 TP4T compared to the 10.34 million tons recorded in 2024. This volume represented 24.801 TP4T of the total imported by all Brazilian ports, according to data consolidated by ANDA.

According to Elias Lima, president of the board of Anda, “In 2025, even in the face of a challenging scenario marked throughout the year by climatic instabilities, fluctuations in logistical costs, and a still pressured economic environment, the sector maintained its commitment to the rural producer. Fertilizer deliveries occurred regularly and in an organized manner, guaranteeing predictability for crop planning. This performance was fundamental to ensuring productivity in the field and contributing to achieving a record harvest, reinforcing the strategic role of the input chain for Brazilian agribusiness.”
