South America Biofertilizer Market Analysis

The South America Biofertilizers Market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 10.0%, during the forecast period, 2020-2025. Argentina is the largest and fastest-growing market, followed by Brazil. Favorable government policies, easy registration process, and the increasing organic farms are the main factors driving the market. Considering the type of biofertilizers, the Rhizobium biofertilizer segment led the market in 2019 in South America. Despite the extensive legislations' normative in the major South American countries, there is a lack of a specific and definite set of regulations for the use of biofertilizers and organic fertilizers in some other countries of the region, such as Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, and Venezuela, among others. Thus, their growth in the biofertilizer market is likely to be slow, as compared to some of the major countries, like Brazil and Argentina.

South America Biofertilizer Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the South America Biofertilizers Market according to our research experts:

Increased Practice Of Organic Farming

The increased concern for the environment has paved the way for the use of biofertilizers. The increasing cost of chemical fertilizers and the push from governments for sustainable farming is enabling farmers to adopt organic farming practices. Biofertilizers are used to improve the quality of soil, as they can help in improving the quality of the soil without depriving it of the essential nutrients. Using biofertilizers also helps in scaling up the nutrient intake of plants, which is essential in the current scenario. Biofertilizers, such as Rhizobium, Azospirillum, and Phosphobacteria, deliver nitrogen and phosphorous nutrients to crop plants through the nitrogen fixation and phosphorous solubilization processes. These biofertilizers are utilized for rice, pulses, millets, cotton, sugarcane, and other horticulture crops. Since biofertilizers are capable of boosting the soil organic matter, they considered being a few of the most important components of soil management, in the current paradigm.

Argentina is Leading the Bio-fertilizers Market

Argentina accounted for 48.6% of the South American biofertilizers market in 2018. The total organic agricultural land, which is being treated with the biological organic fertilizers in Argentina is around 3.39 million hectares as of 2017. Argentina has strict controls and legislation regulations for allowing the commercialization of biofertilizers based on Rhizobia. In the country, biological fertilizers are registered under the National Health and Agroalimentary Quality Service (SENASA), which, along with other sectors of the government, determines the adoption, restriction, and marketing of biofertilizers in the country. As an export-oriented market, the applications of biological organic fertilizer products increased with the adoption of sustainable farming practices and organic ingredients. The cost-efficient product offerings further augment the market expansion in the country. More than 70% of the country's biological organic fertilizer products are being exported by the country. The major crops that are treated with these products are pears, apples, oranges, mandarins, grapefruit, lemon, grapes, onion, garlic, asparagus, lettuce, beet, carrot, and cucumber, among others.
