Brazil's fertilizer company Terrena Agronegocios said today it would acquire two fertilizer blending units in Brazil from Canada-based fertilizer producer Nutrien.
Terrena will take over the units — located in Araxa, Minas Gerais state, and Cristalina, Goias state — which have a combined capacity of 400,000 metric tonnes (t)/year of NPK blends. The acquisition is part of Terrena Agronegocios' strategy to expand production capacity in key regions, it said. Nutrien did not reply to Argus' request for comment.
Nutrien stopped operations at both plants in June 2024, and also stopped operations in its 750,000 t/yr blending unit in Itapetininga in southeastern Sao Paulo state. That facility was sold in July 2025 to Grupo Equilibrio.
Nutrien started to discontinue blending operations as part of its global business optimization strategy. The Canadian company said it would keep selling agricultural inputs and solutions to Brazilian producers through its resale system.
Nutrien also has a 450,000 t/yr unit in Alfenas and a 200,000 t/yr unit in Morrinhos, in Minas Gerais and Goias, respectively.
The acquisition is still subject to the Brazilian antitrust watchdog Cade approval. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
