Kusukela ngoJanuwari kuya ku-Okthoba, umthamo wokuthekelisa wenyuke ngo-51%, futhi i-China yaba inkampani enkulu kunazo zonke e-Brazil ehlinzeka ngomanyolo.

Iphethini yezolimo ethathe isikhathi eside icishe ibe sohlangothini olulodwa phakathi kweBrazil neChina iyashintsha. Nakuba i-China isalokhu iyindawo eyinhloko yemikhiqizo yezolimo yaseBrazil, namuhlaimikhiqizo yezolimoezivela eChina ziya ngokuya zingena emakethe yaseBrazil, futhi enye yazo ingumanyolo.

Ezinyangeni eziyishumi zokuqala zalo nyaka, inani eliphelele leimikhiqizo yezolimoelethwe yiBrazil lisuka eChina selifinyelele ezigidini eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-6.1 zamadola aseMelika, nokunyuke ngo-24% uma kuqhathaniswa nesikhathi esifanayo ngonyaka odlule. Isakhiwo sokuhlinzekwa kwezinto zokukhiqiza ezolimo eBrazil siyaguquka, futhi ukuthengwa kukamanyolo kuyingxenye ebalulekile yalokhu. Mayelana nobuningi, i-China isiyidlule iRussia okokuqala ngqa futhi yaba ngumkhiqizi omkhulu waseBrazil ohlinzeka ngomanyolo.

Kusukela ngoJanuwari kuya ku-Okthoba kulo nyaka, iBrazil ithenge amathani angu-9.77 million kamanyolo evela eChina, okungaphezudlwana kwamathani ayizigidi ezingu-9.72 athengwe eRussia. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izinga lokukhula lokuthunyelwa kukamanyolo waseShayina eBrazil liye landa kakhulu. Ezinyangeni eziyishumi zokuqala zalo nyaka, inyuke ngo-51% uma iqhathaniswa nonyaka odlule, kanti umthamo wokungenisa ovela eRussia ukhuphuke ngo-5.6%.

Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi iBrazil ingenisa iningi lomanyolo wayo eChina, kanti i-ammonium sulfate (umanyolo wenitrogen) kuwuhlobo oluphambili. Khonamanjalo, iRussia isalokhu ingumphakeli obalulekile wamasu we-potassium chloride (umanyolo we-potassium) waseBrazil. Njengamanje, ukuthengwa okuhlanganisiwe okuvela kulawa mazwe womabili kuyingxenye yenani likamanyolo elithengwayo eBrazil.

I-Federation of Agriculture and Livestock iveze ukuthi selokhu kuqale lo nyaka, umthamo wokuthengwa kwe-ammonium sulfate eBrazil ubulokhu udlula obekulindelekile, kanti isidingo se-potassium chloride sehlile ngenxa yezimo zonyaka. Ezinyangeni eziyishumi zokuqala zalo nyaka, inani likamanyolo laseBrazil seliphelele lifinyelele amathani ayizigidi ezingu-38.3, okuwukukhula ngo-4.6% unyaka nonyaka; inani lokungenisa kwamanye amazwe liphinde lenyuka ngo-16%, lafinyelela ku-13.2 wamadola aseMelika. Mayelana nomthamo wokungenisa, abahlinzeki bomanyolo abahlanu abahamba phambili e-Brazil yi-China, i-Russia, i-Canada, i-Morocco ne-Egypt, ngaleyo ndlela.

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, iBrazil yangenisa amathani angu-863,000 wamakhemikhali ezolimo njengezibulala-zinambuzane, ama-herbicides, ama-fungicides, njll ezinyangeni eziyishumi zokuqala, ukwanda kwe-33% uma kuqhathaniswa nesikhathi esifanayo ngonyaka odlule. Phakathi kwabo, ama-70% aqhamuka emakethe yaseShayina, alandelwa yiNdiya (11%). Isamba senani lokungeniswa kwamanye amazwe lale mikhiqizo lifinyelele ezigidini eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-4.67 zamadola aseMelika, okuwukukhuphuka ngo-21% uma kuqhathaniswa nonyaka odlule.
