Learn about Brazil Potash
Our company is starting construction of a new facility to extract and process potash ore, an essential nutrient for the global agricultural sector. The goal is to create a complete cycle of development, extracting potash from underground soil layers so it can be used to fertilize soil to grow various types of crops.
Potash is taken from the earth and returned to it, strengthening the crops grown, enhancing the quality and productivity of plantations, and helping to sustain the continuous growth of agribusiness, which contributes roughly 25% to Brazil’s GDP.
Our operation will reduce an estimated 1.4 million tons per year of Green House Gas emissions through a combination of using primarily renewable sourced electricity supplied by Brazil’s national electricity grid and avoidance of substantial unnecessary international transportation by supplying Brazil with ~20% of its potash domestically.
