Finnish Company Metso Outotec Seeks to Invest in the National Fertilizer Plan (PNF 2050) Focusing on Providing Services and Consulting for Agribusiness

With an Increasingly Unstable International Fertilizer Scenario Amid Geopolitical Conflicts, Metso Outotec Seeks to Offer Its Consulting Services for Fertilizer Plants in Agriculture and Aims for the PNF 2050.

In the midst of strong international instability in the export and import of fertilizers, Metso Outotec is seeking to invest this Monday, (07/18), in the National Fertilizers Plan (PNF 2050). Thus, the company intends to utilize and offer its consulting services in the production segment for fertilizer plants, contributing to the growth of agriculture in the national territory for the coming decades, as well as boosting its presence in the Brazilian market.

Metso Outotec’s Consulting Services Can Be Utilized by Brazilian Agriculture for Greater Efficiency and Investments in Fertilizer Plants

Since the beginning of 2022, Russia and Ukraine have been in geopolitical conflicts and in a true direct war, and as a consequence, the international market suffers from instability in commercial relations. Among the main products affected in this scenario, fertilizers are key, as the Russian nation has a strong presence in the production and commercialization of this cargo with entire countries.

Thus, the Federal Government created the PNF 2050 as a way to boost and attract investments for fertilizer production in Brazil, aiming to make the country increasingly less dependent on other nations. Therefore, Metso Outotec assessed the national agriculture scenario and reinforced its strategy for the sector, with the technological offer of plants for the production of organo-mineral fertilizers and remineralizers. 

To present its consulting and monitoring services for fertilizer plants, Metso Outotec will participate in the 9th Brazilian Congress of Fertilizers, promoted by the National Association for the Dissemination of Fertilizers (ANDA), on August 23, in São Paulo. This will be the ideal moment for this discussion, as agriculture companies will come together to debate the issue of fertilizers, ESG practices, and other relevant matters in the current scenario.

Company Already Has a Presence in the Brazilian Agriculture Sector in Fertilizers and Intends to Leverage Experience to Invest in the PNF 2050

According to data from the PNF 2050, the Market for Organo-Mineral Fertilizers (FOM) grew 19.5% in 2019, and there is an expectation of greater support from the Federal Government to gain scale. Thus, there is a need for strong investment in solutions to address the main challenges of this production currently, such as the current product scenario, which is still quite basic (generally simple granules) and with little standardization of nutrient content.

This is where Metso Outotec comes in, as the company already has strong experience in agriculture regarding fertilizer plants and can collaborate with its solutions and consulting services. Thus, José Roberto Malaman, Senior Sales Manager for the fertilizer area at Metso Outotec, commented on the company’s perspective for the PNF 2050 and said: “Our offering is comprehensive, from consulting to supply and turnkey activation of organo-mineral fertilizer plants.”

Among the main services of the company for fertilizer plants in agriculture are the development and study of the best process route, execution of engineering, sizing, and specification of the plants. Additionally, the company also operates in the segment with production monitoring services and viable technological alternatives to make the process even more efficient. 

Now, the company will continue to leverage the investment moment in fertilizer production in the Brazilian scenario to boost its growth, thus ensuring an even greater presence in Brazil’s agriculture.
