Latin America Organic Fertilizers Market

Latin America Organic Fertilizers Market Size and Share: 

The Latin America organic fertilizers market size reached USD 2.80 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 8.50 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 11.50% during 2025-2033. The rising consumer demand for chemical-free food, government incentives for sustainable farming, increasing soil degradation, expanding organic farmland, growing awareness of environmental impacts, stringent regulations on synthetic fertilizers, and the adoption of biofertilizers and biopesticides to enhance crop yields are some of the major factors positively impacting the Latin America organic fertilizers market share.

Latin America Organic Fertilizers Market Trends:

Rising Demand Towards Sustainable Agricultural Practices

The organic fertilizer market in Latin America is growing due to the increasing focus on sustainable agricultural practices. Organic farming is widely practiced in countries like Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico, with government support through subsidies and certification programs. According to an industry report, it was found that the area of organic farming in Latin America increased by 60% from 2018 to 2024, reaching 10 million hectares in 2024. The shift to organic alternatives is also driven by the region's growing awareness of health degradation because of synthetic fertilizers. In line with this, farmers are now adopting compost, manure-based, and biofertilizers to rejuvenate the biodiversity of the soil and, thereby, reduce chemical dependency. Also, there is a global demand for organic food export, which results in large-scale farmers following organic production. This further leads to a higher demand for the product, which is facilitating the Latin America organic fertilizer market growth. Investments in research on microbial inoculants and organic nutrient blends are enhancing product efficiency. The market is also benefitting from slow-release organic formulations for improved nutrient absorption and reduction of leaching, thus making organic fertilizers a viable replacement for synthetic inputs in high-yield farming systems.

Growth of Biofertilizers and Microbial-Based Products

The growing adoption of biofertilizers due to their ability to improve soil fertility without harming the environment is positively influencing the Latin America organic fertilizers market outlook. Biofertilizers containing nitrogen-fixing bacteria (rhizobium, azospirillum), phosphate-solubilizing microbes (pseudomonas, bacillus), and mycorrhizal fungi are being developed to optimize nutrient availability. Countries like Brazil and Argentina are leading in microbial-based product registrations, driven by regulatory approvals and collaborations between research institutes and agribusinesses. The expansion of precision agriculture technologies is also fostering the use of biofertilizers, as farmers integrate them with data-driven nutrient management strategies. The increased commercialization of tailored biofertilizers for crops such as soybeans, coffee, and sugarcane increases growth in the market. Innovations in carrier materials such as lignite and polymer-based formulations are making effective strides in improving shelf life and stability of microbial biofertilizers to address storage and application challenges. On September 11, 2024, Stoller Argentina released a biofertilizer called BlueN based on the nitrogen fixer species Methylobacterium symbioticum SB23. This innovative foliar-applied product is suitable for organic farming and can be mixed with most foliar pesticides, providing an alternative to traditional nitrogen fertilizers.
