Established in 2000, Agrichem do Brasil S.A. operates as a key manufacturer of specialty plant nutrition products within Brazil's agricultural sector. Headquartered in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, the company has positioned itself as a specialist in high-concentration liquid fertilizers and plant health solutions. Its business model revolves around the research, development, production, and sale of these agricultural inputs, supplemented by consulting services in plant nutrition.
The company's offerings are designed to enhance crop productivity and include a range of products such as liquid NPK fertilizers, micronutrients, biostimulants, and health inductors. A significant part of its service portfolio is the PAMnutri (Agronomic Nutritional Monitoring Program), a diagnostic service initiated in 2004. This program utilizes soil and leaf analysis to provide customized nutrient recommendations for each stage of the crop cycle, aiming to optimize fertilizer use and improve yields. Agrichem serves a broad agricultural market, with products tailored for major Brazilian crops like soybeans, corn, cotton, and coffee.
A major milestone in the company's history was its acquisition by Nutrien Ltd., the world's largest provider of crop inputs and services. The agreement was announced in January 2018 and finalized in a two-tranche process concluding after 2018. At the time of the acquisition announcement, Agrichem had reported annual net sales of over $55 million and an EBITDA of over $15 million. This strategic acquisition integrated Agrichem into Nutrien's global network, specifically aligning it with the Loveland Products business to enhance its distribution and product offerings in the large and growing Brazilian agricultural market.
