Brazil: High level of Q1 phosphate rock imports

摘要

Q1 phosphate rock imports into Brazil reach close to record levels. Latest GTIS data for March show Brazilian rock imports for Q1 at 471,000 mt, close to the record volume imported in Q1 2013 of 500,000 mt. Imports in Q1 last year were down at just 325,000 mt. Although the volume of Bayovar rock for Vale was recorded at a lower level of 259,000 mt over the first three months of 2015, imports from Morocco reached 180,000 mt, a volume not seen since pre-Bayovar days.
