Company expands investment in natural mineral fertilizers.

The transition to more sustainable agriculture depends on how nutrients reach the soil. The new company formed by the merger between Massari Fértil and Morro Verde is expanding investments in natural mixed mineral fertilizers developed from Brazilian geological assets and formulated based on the science of tropical soils.

The strategy consolidates mineral innovation as a technological hub. With a vertically integrated operation, from mining to final formulation, the company reinforces quality control, traceability, and agronomic efficiency. The structure also reduces dependence on imported inputs.

Natural mineral fertilizers promote the gradual release of nutrients. This characteristic favors nutritional balance throughout the crop cycle. In tropical soils, characterized by high acidity, intense weathering, and lower phosphorus availability, the technology increases plant uptake and reduces losses due to leaching.

“Innovation in agriculture needs to consider the reality of Brazilian soil. By investing in formulations based on national mineral assets and applied research, we develop solutions that combine productivity, nutritional stability, and a lower environmental impact,” says George Fernandes, CEO of Morro Verde.

The environmental agenda includes reducing external dependence. Brazil imports between 85% and 90% of the fertilizers it consumes, according to the National Association for the Diffusion of Fertilizers. This scenario increases emissions related to transportation and raises exposure to geopolitical and exchange rate volatility.

By strengthening domestic production based on phosphorus and mineral amendments, the company shortens supply chains and reduces the carbon intensity of nutrient supply. This strategy aligns with the National Fertilizer Plan, which aims to expand domestic production and reduce external vulnerabilities.

The integration of operations structures a technological platform focused on transforming geological assets into higher value-added agricultural solutions. Vertical integration accelerates development cycles, expands regional testing, and strengthens agronomic intelligence in technical recommendations. Over the next three years, the company projects to consolidate the largest Brazilian platform in the segment of mixed natural mineral fertilizers.
