Sylvinite is a mineral (sedimentary rock) from which potassium chloride is extracted.
The element is used throughout the world in the manufacture of fertilizers.
Today, Brazil is the largest global importer of potassium, bringing in 96% of what is used in the country from other countries.
What is produced in Brazil is mined in Sergipe, which supplies 3% of the fertilizer consumed annually in the Brazilian market.
Studies in the Amazon have proven that this is one of the largest potassium deposits in the world.
