In the first quarter of the year, Brazil’s Vale’s nitrogen fertilizer and potash fertilizer production all declined. This was due to the fact that its sales were mainly concentrated in Brazil, and local fertilizer demand was concentrated in the second half of the year.

Vale, the only potash fertilizer producer in Brazil, produced 118,000 tons of potash fertilizer in the first three months of this year, down 34.5% from the previous month and down 12% year-on-year. The company attributed the drop in potash fertilizer production to its unique restrictions on the geological conditions of the potassium mine, as well as equipment upgrades and maintenance.

In the first quarter, the company's total output of phosphate ore was 1.826 million tons, which was a slight drop from the previous month but it was up 4.8% year-on-year, and it set a record high in phosphate rock production over the same period of the year. As a result of the suspension of maintenance and the arrival of the Brazilian rainy season, the output of the Vale's domestic phosphate rock in the first quarter of this year was 1.112 million tons, a decrease of 0.7% compared with the previous period.

In the first quarter, Vale produced 311,000 tons of ammonium, an increase of 17.1% over the previous period. The increase in ammonium production was mainly due to the company entering the third phase of the fertilizer project in Minas Gerais. The third phase of the expansion project included phosphorous ore, sulphuric acid and phosphoric acid, as well as a new monoammonium and heavy calcium plant. After the expansion of production capacity, the project can annually produce 678,000 tons of sulfuric acid, 280,000 tons of phosphoric acid (refined), and 415,000 tons of phosphate fertilizer (monoammonium and heavy calcium). In the first three months of this year, Vale produced a total of 241,000 tons of heavy calcium, an increase of 17.6%. The suspension of sulphuric acid production in the fourth quarter of last year has greatly affected the production of heavy calcium. At present, heavy calcium has already been produced. The maintenance of equipment and the closure of the Sao Paulo plant resulted in a production volume of 0.44 million tons of crude calcium in the first quarter of this year, down by 25.5% from the previous quarter. During this period, the company's production of dicalcium phosphate was 144,000 tons, an increase of 30.2% compared with the previous period.

In the first quarter, the production of synthetic ammonia and urea were 132,000 tons and 107,000 tons, respectively, a decrease of 15.7% and 32.4% from the previous quarter. This is mainly due to the planned shutdown of the factory. In addition, during this period, the production of nitric acid and ammonium nitrate were 118,000 tons and 119,000 tons, respectively, a decrease of 3.3% and 6.9% respectively.
