The program aims to foster the domestic production of fertilizers, their raw materials, remineralizers, bioinputs, and biofertilizers, and determines mandatory blending of domestically produced fertilizers beginning July 2027.

This Friday, September 4, Statute #15,496/2026 was published in the Federal Register, establishing PROFERT, a program that aims to foster the domestic production of fertilizers, their raw materials, remineralizers, bioinputs and biofertilizers, and determines mandatory blending of domestically produced fertilizers beginning July 2027.
