One such example is the acquisition of Suncor AgroScience assets by Nutrien Ag Solutions in June 2024, which led to the integration of the most efficient biocontrol technologies into Nutrien’s portfolio. Consequently, their expanded portfolios facilitate crop-nutrition planning and contribute to the commercial adoption of premium fertilizers.
The securing actions by governments to ensure domestic production in the Colombia fertilizer market stabilizes supply and creates a favorable environment for private-sector investment. The shift toward securing domestic fertilizer capacity through government intervention was noticed in Colombia when the government spiritedly took over Monómeros to stabilize it in November 2024. These initiatives reduce the risks associated with long-term import dependency and signal to market players that ensuring domestic fertilizer security is a critical component of the national economy.
Major producers in the Colombia fertilizer market are increasing their regional blending and logistics networks to extend crop-specific fertilizer solutions accessibility throughout the Latin American region. Reflecting this, in July 2025, the Mosaic Company inaugurated its newly built fertilizer blending unit in northern Brazil to upscale the regional sales capacity. Even though the facility is beyond the border, it facilitates product flow and formulation for northern South America, thereby improving the availability and pricing of local Colombian distributors.
The EMR’s report titled “Colombia Fertilizer Market Report and Forecast 2026-2035” offers a detailed analysis of the market based on the following segments:
Market Breakup by Product
Key Insights: The market records a balanced and equal shift in the organic and the inorganic segments, which both have a significant impact on the market. The organic segment's growth in the Colombia fertilizers market is due to increased demand for regenerative farming practices, thus local manufacturers are expanding the number of bio-fertilizer and compost-based formulations. For example, Nitrosoil's certified organic-efficiency portfolio is one of the most viable concepts among high-value crop growers. In contrast, the inorganic category witnesses ongoing introductions of low-carbon and controlled-release formulations by producers and global players such as Yara and ICL. This trend is reflected in the ICL's launch of less-carbon Polysulphate and liquid fertiliser products that are currently penetrating Colombian distribution channels.
Market Breakup by Form
Key Insights: The Colombia fertilizer market scope comprises dry and liquid forms, each catering to specific agronomic needs. Dry fertilizers are still the most common choice for large-scale and plantation crops due to the ease of transport, storage stability, and slow nutrient release. On the other hand, liquid fertilizers are becoming increasingly popular in horticulture and drip-irrigation systems because of the accuracy in dosing and the plant's faster absorption. Moreover, the shift away from hazardous agrochemicals supports the market growth.
Market Breakup by Crop Type
Key Insights: The market observes demand from diverse crops. Grains and cereals hold a substaintial share of the Colombia fertilizer market owing to the consistent demand for bulk fertilizers due to large growing areas and nutrient-demanding crop cycles supported by soil-microbe formulations for maize and wheat. Pulses and oilseeds become more popular with the help of rhizobium-based inoculants that facilitate nitrogen fixation. Commercial crops like sugarcane, coffee, and cocoa use targeted microbial blends for yield stability. Fruits and vegetables employ liquid and foliar biofertilizers for high-value produce. For other crops such as fodder and pasture varieties, farmers are increasingly adopting bio stimulants that enhance soil structure, strengthen plant resilience, and offer a cost-efficient alternative to conventional inputs.
By product, organic fertilizers are the most demanded
The organic fertilizer market in Colombia is extending its influence as producers focus on the large-scale production of bio-fertilizers to meet the demand arising from the implementation of sustainable and regenerative agriculture systems. The region's momentum was further supported when Bioceres Crop Solutions announced a USD 6 million investment in April 2024 to extend the production capacity of bio-inputs such as biofertilizers throughout Latin America.
