What is the estimated impact of the Tres Lagoas plant on Brazil's urea imports, and how does it fit into Petrobras' broader fertilizer strategy?

The Tres Lagoas plant alone is expected to reduce Brazil's urea imports by 12%, and combined with other reactivated nitrogen fertilizer units in Parana, Bahia, and Sergipe, the total import reduction could reach 35%—a core part of Petrobras' strategy to reduce the country's dependence on imported fertilizers.
