Soybean farmers in the Center-West and Matopiba regions are reporting that some fertilizer and glyphosate deliveries have been canceled by suppliers, Bartolomeu Braz Pereira, who heads the farmers’ group Aprosoja, told Bloomberg.
“Some farmers are waiting for deliveries to start seeding,” he said, and retailers are saying fertilizer producers are citing a scarcity of raw materials. He said the biggest concern is for the winter-corn crop, as most farmers have not bought crop nutrients.
