Honouring Mário Barbosa
"Vita brevis, ars longa!"
Mário Barbosa leaves Vale Fertilizantes Executive Direction
Mário Alves Barbosa Neto, 65, is a Production Engineer from Escola Politécnica da USP and MBA from FGV; was CEO of Bunge Fertilizantes S.A.; Director of ANDA – Associação Nacional para Difusão de Adubos; Chairman of Fosbrasil Board, Chairman of Fertifos and of Fosfértil and Ultrafertil S.A.; Chair person in Santista Têxtil S.A. and Bunge Brasil S.A.
Young, he married the daughter of Fernando Penteado Cardoso, founder of Manah.
As CFO of Manah he managed to build G-8 (as was called the group of Brazilian Fertilizer companies that took over Fosfertil and after Ultrafértil when they where privatized). He became Fosfértil´s CEO in 1993.
When Bunge's top management turned professional in early 90's, first with Ludwig Schmitt- Rhaden and after with Mr. Alberto Weisser, "Doctor Mário" was hired by Bunge in 1994 to sell Quimbrasil and Serrana mining chemical conglommerate as part of a concentration reengineering.
But Mário was a great consolidator and, instead, convinced Bunge to grow before selling, and work hard in Bunge Fertilizantes up to 2010 (incorporating Manah, IAP, Takenaka and Elekeiroz and later "almost" merged to Fosfértil and Ultrafértil). Bunge Fertilizers became a strong multinational (with operations in Brazil, Argentina and Morocco) and a Brazilian Fertilizer giant.
In 2010 Bunge Limited decided to sell its fertilizers mining and raw materials businesses and Vale (then with operations in Peru, Argentina and Sergipe) was searching for aquisitions. Bunge, Fosfértil and Vale where "married" in 2010. Mário Barbosa's last task as Executive Director of Vale was to consolidate Vale Fertilizantes in 2011.
Now Eduardo Bartolomeo, a Vale insider (from metals and coal), takes Mario´s place. Welcomed in "Fertilizers and Coal" after Murilo Ferreira approved a direction reshape, Bartolomeo arrives with Vale approval to a US 6 billion expansion in Moatize (coal and railways - Mozambique) and US$ 15 billion in Fertilizers (Salitre - Patrocínio - MG, Evate - Mozambique, Nitric at Cubatão, Potassium in Sergipe´s Carnalita, Rio Colorado and Antofalla - Argentina and Kronau - Saskatchewan - Canadá and revampings in Brazil in general). Good news!
Mário Barbosa´s legend in Brazilian Fertilizer Industry is iconical. And speaking of his generation, consolidation he promoted is not yet finished. His fellows like Bill Doyle, Jim Prokopanko, Mostapha Terrab and Akiva Moses are still giving cards in big companies (respectivelly PCS, Mosaic, OCP and ICL). We would like to send him congratulations for the work done and honour his enormous contributions to create and nourish Vale as a Brazilian champion in Fertilizers!
Co-workers will continue this "saga" of Brazilian and World industrial and agronomical fertilizers businesses...as started and developed among us by giants like Luiz Manuel Pinto de Queiroz, Fernando Hackradt, Herculano de Godoy Passos, Pery Igel, Clóvis Galante, Luiz Bocallato, Fernando Cardoso, Wladimir Puggina, Paulo Abib Andery, Nelson Pereira dos Reis, Dalton Heringer, Godofreddo Vitti, Germano Becker, Fernando Cardoso, Rodolfo Galvani, Eurípedes Malavolta, etc and Mário Barbosa!

Petrogres, Jordan phosphate to build phosphoric acid plant
Jakarta (ANTARA News) - PT Petrokimia Gresik (Petrogres) in cooperation with Jordan Phosphate Mines Co. Plc. is to construct a phosphoric acid plant with a capacity of 200,000 tons per year beginning next month. Wed, July 20 2011 21:53
"It will take 30 months to finish it," the president director of Petrogres, Hidayat Nyakman, said here on Wednesday.
He said the plant`s construction was expected to finish in 2014 to reduce the country`s dependence on imported NPK fertilizer raw materials.
He made the statement after witnessing the signing of a contract between PT Petro Jordan Abadi and a consortium of PT Rekayasa Industri-Wuhan Engineering Co.Ltd. for the construction of a phosphoric acid and its derivatives plant in Gresik, East Java.
He said Petrogres and Jordan Phosphate Mines Co. Ltd. (JPMC) had set up a joint venture company, PT Petro Jordan Abadi, with each holding 50 percent of the shares in the company.
He said the construction of the plant would cost around US$184.3 million and around 70 percent of it or US$129 million was from a loan from the consortium between Bank Mandiri and Indonesia`s export-import bank. The rest totaling US$55.3 million comes Petrogres and JPMC.
"The plant is very strategic to assure fertilizer raw material namely phosphate," he said.
He said Petrogres has so far imported around 400,000 tons of phosphoric acid a year mostly from Jordan.
Actually Petrogres has already had a phosphoric acid factory with a production capacity of 200,000 tons a year with its raw material imported from Jordan and Egypt.
"We need around 600,000 tons of phosphoric acid for producing around 2.2 million tons of NPK Phonska," he said.
To reduce dependency on imports he said Petrogres had invited JPMC as Jordan`s biggest producer of phosphoric acid to jointly build a plant in Indonesia.
"Stocks of phosphoric acid and rock phosphate in the world are limited and the price keeps rising," he said.
The world`s biggest rock phosphate producers so far are Morocco, Jordan, Egypt and Tunisia.
He said the price of phosphoric acid in the world at present reached US$1,100 per ton and the price of rock phosphate US$220 per ton.
"We are lucky we have a year-long contract with JPMC so that we could still enjoy the price of rock phosphate at US$160 per ton," he said.
The chief commissioner and CEO of JPMC, Walid Ismail Kudri meanwhile said his company has been cooperating with Petrogres as supplier of rock phosphate and phosphoric acid since 1985.
He has seen Indonesia as a big phosphate market because of its high demand. "Indonesia is a big market with its economy continuing to rise," he said.
In view of that he said besides cooperating with Petrogres in the development of a phosphoric acid plant, JPMC also plans to build a similar plant in Kalimantan and Makassar in cooperation with fertilizer companies PT Pupuk Kalimantan Timur and PT Pupuk Sriwijaya.
"We will build two more plants after this one," he said.
PT Petro Jordan Abadi, Muhammad Chadik Anis, meanwhile said the joint venture plant would not only produce phosphoric acid but also sulfuric acid totaling 600,000 tons and gypsum granule totaling 500,000 tons a year.
"The sulfuric acid produced by the new company will be totally supplied to Petrogres," he said.
Anis said he estimated the sales turnover later would reach up to Rp2 trillion excluding sales of sulfuric acid and gypsum for cement producers.
Hidayat said he plans to increase the capacity of his company`s sulfuric acid production capacity next year to reach around 300,000 tons a year.
"Next year we will conduct `repumping` in the existing sulfuric acid plant so that its production capacity will rise from 200,000 tons to 300,000 tons," he said.
He did not tell the total investment Petrogres would make for increasing the plant`s production capacity.(*)

Promon desafiou jovens a valorizar fosfogesso
Promon Engenharia lança desafios técnicos aos jovens por meio do Battle of Concepts
Release: Maio, 2011
A “batalha”, proposta pela empresa, desafia estudantes e jovens profissionais de 16 a 30 anos a encontrarem soluções práticas para os dois temas sugeridos, ligados a fosfogesso e a gesso anidro
A Promon Engenharia, uma das principais empresas brasileiras de desenvolvimento de projetos, consultoria, integração e implementação de soluções de infraestrutura, tem sua trajetória marcada pelo forte incentivo ao desenvolvimento da pesquisa e do estudo entre os jovens. Alinhada a essa filosofia, a companhia lança, a partir do dia 06 de maio, dois desafios de cunho técnico que compõem o que está sendo chamado de “batalha de conceitos”. A iniciativa surge em parceria com o programa Battle of Concepts - BoC, que teve origem na Holanda, em 2004, e promove por meio de sua página virtual disputas de criatividade e inovação entre estudantes universitários.
A Promon Engenharia lança dois desafios relacionados entre si que buscam incentivar os estudantes e jovens profissionais de 16 a 30 anos de idade a desenvolverem ideias, produtos ou tecnologias que proponham alternativas para o problema de acúmulo de fosfogesso, um subproduto do processo de geração de ácido fosfórico nas fábricas de fertilizantes. Para o primeiro desafio, no período de 06 de maio a 15 de agosto, serão aceitas sugestões de possíveis aplicações para o fosfogesso.
A premiação oferecida pela Promon Engenharia para esse desafio totaliza R$15 mil, sendo que o primeiro lugar ganhará R$6 mil, o segundo R$3,5 mil, o terceiro R$2 mil e o restante do prêmio será distribuído até o 10° lugar.
Haverá, ainda, um segundo desafio que completa a batalha proposta pela companhia. O conceito, neste caso, deve apresentar uma ideia de processo ou tecnologia inovadora que permita transformar fosfogesso em gesso anidro. Como a segunda questão é mais complexa, a Promon Engenharia premiará a melhor proposta com o valor de R$25 mil, caso haja um vencedor nesta categoria.
Para ambos os desafios, serão levados em conta os seguintes critérios: inovação e criatividade; alinhamento aos valores da Promon; apresentação de conceito economicamente viável, bem como conceito bem elaborado e claro. A empresa aceitará projetos individuais e de grupos formados por até três pessoas, com apenas um conceito por participação.

FAO´s prospect for Phosphoric Acid production in 2012
Phosphate
Global phosphoric acid capacity is projected to increase from 45.3 million tonnes in 2008 to 53.4 million tonnes in 2012.
Capacity expansions are expected in China, India, Saudi Arabia, North Africa and Brazil.
Supply as effective capacity is projected to grow by 5.1 percent/year and total demand by 3.7 percent/year.
Although the world operating rate has increased significantly to a high of 89 percent of installed capacity, continued strong demand will mean little flexibility in global availability until a major expansion scheduled in Saudi Arabia becomes potentially operational towards the end of the projection period.

Global phosphoric acid capacity is projected to increase from 45.3 million tonnes in 2008 to 53.4 million tonnes in 2012.
Capacity expansions are expected in China, India, Saudi Arabia, North Africa and Brazil.
Supply as effective capacity is projected to grow by 5.1 percent/year and total demand by 3.7 percent/year.
Although the world operating rate has increased significantly to a high of 89 percent of installed capacity, continued strong demand will mean little flexibility in global availability until a major expansion scheduled in Saudi Arabia becomes potentially operational towards the end of the projection period.
