Latin America Water Soluble Fertilizers Market

Latin America Water Soluble Fertilizers Market Size, Growth, Trends and Forecast:

The Latin America Water Soluble Fertilizers Market was worth USD 558.92 million in 2021 and estimated to be growing at a CAGR of 6.68%, to reach USD 772.27 million by 2026. The market in this region is growing at a second fastest rate after Asia Pacific region. The market continues to gain momentum with the rapid increase in increased demand of food in this region with increasing population. Water Soluble Fertilizers are the fertilizers that readily dissolve in water to give nutrition to crops.

Water Soluble Fertilizers (WSF) are readily soluble in water. Being soluble in water, they release nutrients to the roots of the plants through the process of osmosis. These nutrients absorbed are then transferred to various parts of plants, leaves, stems .etc. where they are used in plant’s mechanism. These fertilizers are mainly used through two ways, Fertigation and Foliar application. While in Fertigation, WSF are directly inserted into irrigation system, in Foliar system, these fertilizers are directly applied to leaves of the plants.
