Brazil Potash understands that potash is a key resource for farming. Potash makes soil arable, contributes to long-term farming of the same land plot, and is one of the most important exports for the agricultural sector. However, though Brazil may be one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing markets for potash, currently roughly 95% of its potash is imported from foreign countries.

The company plans to begin extraction on its Autazes Potash Project, which is 120 km southeast of Manaus. Brazil Potash aims to make available up to 2,600 direct jobs during its installation phase and 1,300 during its operation phase, as well as 12 times that number in indirect positions. It also stands to connect the municipality to necessary infrastructure for quality of life, and grant the municipality increased tax revenues that can be reinvested into schools, water quality, roads and healthcare services.

Brazil Potash has been recognized internationally for its plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions caused by potash imports by upwards of 65%. Brazil Potash is led by executives who include CEO Matt Simpson, Brazil President Adriano Espeschit, Head of Finance, Davidson Aquino, geology specialists Gustavo Kiefer, Marketing Director Marcos Pedrini, Project Director Rafael Bloise and ESG Director Lúcio Rabelo.

Brazil Potash’s technical headquarters is stationed in Autazes. Brazil Potash also includes a corporate office in Toronto, and its administrative branch is located in Manaus and Belo Horizonte, Brazil.
