Brazil Potash receives SUFRAMA registration tied to potential ~US$ 94 million tax savings
Brazil Potash’s wholly owned subsidiary Potássio do Brasil Ltda. has received official SUFRAMA registration for the Autazes Project, although any tax benefits remain subject to applicable rules and project-specific authorisations.
Brazil Potash Corp. said on Dec. 16, 2025 that its wholly owned Brazilian subsidiary, Potássio do Brasil Ltda., had received official registration from SUFRAMA, the federal agency overseeing tax-incentive procedures under the Zona Franca de Manaus framework in Western Amazonas.
The registration allows the subsidiary to operate under SUFRAMA-administered procedures. It does not, however, represent final approval of all potential tax benefits, which remain subject to applicable rules, procedures, project approvals and individual authorisations.
Brazil Potash estimates that access to federal incentive regimes administered by SUFRAMA could produce up to ~US$ 94 million in estimated tax savings during the construction phase of the Autazes Project. The company said this estimate depends on meeting the relevant requirements and securing the necessary authorisations.
The registration applies to a subsidiary developing the Autazes potash project. Brazil Potash said the registration supports tax assumptions used in the project’s financial model, but the announcement also identifies uncertainty over estimates and the possibility that requested tax savings or exemptions may not be approved.
Potássio do Brasil Ltda. may apply for a potential exemption or reduction in Import Tax, known as II, on qualifying imports under the Zona Franca de Manaus framework. Any such treatment is subject to procedures and approvals involving SUFRAMA and Brazil’s Receita Federal.
The subsidiary may also seek an exemption from the Tax on Industrialised Products, or IPI, for qualifying goods imported or produced under the framework. The measures are intended to apply to capital expenditure during construction and remain subject to the applicable rules and approvals.
Brazil Potash, listed on the NYSE-American under NYSE-American: GRO, is developing the Autazes Project to produce agricultural potash fertiliser in Brazil. The company said its initial planned production is up to 2.4 million tonnes per year.
According to management, the project could potentially supply approximately 20% of current potash demand in Brazil. Management also anticipates that 100% of Brazil Potash’s production will be sold domestically and that this could mitigate approximately 1.4 million tonnes per year of greenhouse-gas emissions. These statements are forward-looking and subject to the risks and uncertainties identified by the company.
The announcement says the project remains exposed to changes in government policy, legislation and regulation, as well as the need to obtain required licences, permits and approvals. Other risks identified include securing project financing, changes in potash supply and demand, competitive pressures, capital expenditure timing and value, capital-market conditions, currency and exchange-rate movements, unexpected geological or environmental conditions, political or economic developments, and reliance on contractors and consultants.
The company states that actual results, performance or achievements may differ materially from its forward-looking statements. The registration therefore establishes eligibility to use SUFRAMA procedures, while the effective tax treatment and wider project development remain subject to further requirements and approvals.

As an entity within Western Amazonas, Potássio do Brasil Ltda. is now eligible to apply for and operate under applicable federal tax-incentive regimes.
