AMMAN — Jordan exports of potash to Brazil has reached 250,000 tonnes,

needs,” he told Al-Mamlaka TV.

Nsour added that the company had invested about $500 million in infrastructure projects
in order to enter the Brazilian market strongly. He added that Brazil now imports
85 percent of its fertilizer needs from Jordan due to the repercussions of the
war in Ukraine on the Brazilian agricultural sector.
He indicated
that the company is seeking to raise potash production from 2.5 million tonnes
to 4 million tonnes, in order to compete with competitors and open new export
lines.
He pointed out that Brazil chose Jordan as the first destination in its
tripartite Arab tour due to strong trade relations and the quality of Jordanian
potash. Jordan’s APC ranks seventh globally in relation to other potash competitors.
APC is also the third company in the world that manufactures potassium nitrate,
and the second in the world that manufactures bromine.
