Brazil Biostimulants Market Trends
The Country's regulatory laws enabled the expansion of organic cultivation, and cash crops are majorly producing crops under organic
- The area under organic crop cultivation in Brazil was recorded at 13,758.7 hectares in 2021, according to data provided by FibL statistics. Organic agriculture in Brazil has grown considerably in the last twenty years, mainly due to the creation of specific laws and regulations.
- Between 2015 and 2017, the annual average growth of newly registered producers was 43%. The Litoral Sul and Baixo Sul ITs in the southern region had the highest number of registered organic producers in Brazil. However, from 2018 to 2020, it fell to 4%, coinciding with a new political scenario. This period is seen as a landmark in the scope of national agriculture, with the end of federal departments responsible for agrarian development and the expansion and flexibilization of the pesticide market.
- Cash crops accounted for the maximum share of 86.3% under organic crop cultivation in 2021, with 11,871.6 hectares of land. The country is a major grower of cash crops such as sugarcane, cocoa, coffee, and cotton. Brazil is the largest sugarcane-growing country in the region. Horticultural crops accounted for a share of 9.3%, with an area of 1,295.9 hectares of organic land in 2021. The major fruit and vegetable crops grown in the country include oranges, carrots, potatoes, bananas, lemons, tangerines, and strawberries.
- Row crops accounted for just 4.4% of total organic crop cultivation in 2021, with an area of 591.2 hectares. However, the organic area under cultivation of row crops increased by 17.1% during the historic period. The replacement of chemical nitrogen with organic sources in Brazil has been known to save around USD 13.0 billion per annum, which is driving more farmers to take up organic farming in row crops.

As health awareness and income rise, people are spending more on organic food, with olive oil being the top choice
- Organic food consumption in Brazil is mainly observed in higher-income groups due to the higher prices of organic food. However, increasing disposable incomes and COVID-19-led health consciousness are expected to increase per capita spending on organic food in the country. The current per capita spending on organic food products in Brazil is comparatively lower than in other parts of the world, with an average per capita spending of USD 0.38 in 2022.
- According to data provided by Global Organic Trade, Brazil ranks 43rd globally for per capita spending on organic packaged food and beverages, with a value of USD 0.38 in 2021. The market is estimated to record a CAGR of 6.6% between 2021 and 2026. Olive oil was the most consumed organic food product in the country.
- Growing awareness among consumers and their buying motives will lead to a better understanding of the sustainability attributes of organic food in the country. Increasing per capita income, coupled with growing knowledge among consumers about the importance of organic food consumption, will potentially increase per capita spending on organic food products in Brazil.
- The retail sales of organic packaged food and beverages in Brazil grew by 9.5% in 2021 to USD 81.0 million, which is expected to grow with the penetration of e-commerce within organic packaged food. Additionally, the increasing levels of urbanization and improving consumer living standards have increased per capita expenditures on high-quality, organic food products in Brazil. The Brazilian Ministry of Agricultural Development is introducing numerous policies for promoting the domestic production of organic foods, which will continue to drive market growth over the forecast period.

| Protein hydrolysates (PHs) | Protein hydrolysate-based biostimulants contain free amino acids, oligopeptides, and polypeptides produced by enzymatic or chemical hydrolysis of proteins, primarily from vegetal or animal sources. |
| Biostimulants/Plant Growth Regulators (PGR) | Biostimulants/Plant Growth Regulators (PGR) are substances derived from natural resources to enhance plant growth and health by stimulating plant processes (metabolism). |
| Soil Amendments | Soil Amendments are substances applied to soil that improve soil health, such as soil fertility and soil structure. |
| Seaweed Extract | Seaweed extracts are rich in micro and macronutrients, proteins, polysaccharides, polyphenols, phytohormones, and osmolytes. These substances boost seed germination and crop establishment, total plant growth and productivity. |
| Compounds related to biocontrol and/or promoting growth (CRBPG) | Compounds related to biocontrol or promoting growth (CRBPG) are the ability of a bacteria to produce compounds for phytopathogen biocontrol and plant growth promotion. |
| Symbiotic Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria | Symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria such as Rhizobium obtain food and shelter from the host, and in return, they help by providing fixed nitrogen to the plants. |
| Nitrogen Fixation | Nitrogen fixation is a chemical process in soil which converts molecular nitrogen into ammonia or related nitrogenous compounds. |
| ARS (Agricultural Research Service) | ARS is the U.S. Department of Agriculture's chief scientific in-house research agency. It aims to find solutions to agricultural problems faced by the farmers in the country. |
| Phytosanitary Regulations | Phytosanitary regulations imposed by the respective government bodies check or prohibit the importation and marketing of certain insects, plant species, or products of these plants to prevent the introduction or spread of new plant pests or pathogens. |
| Ectomycorrhizae (ECM) | Ectomycorrhiza (ECM) is a symbiotic interaction of fungi with the feeder roots of higher plants in which both the plant and the fungi benefit through the association for survival. |
