Brazil Organic Fertilizer - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts (2025 - 2030)

The Brazil Organic Fertilizer Market size is estimated at 14.44 million USD in 2025, and is expected to reach 22.9 million USD by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 9.66% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

• 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 between 2023 and 2029.
