The forecast for Brazil's import of salt, sulphur, earth, stone, plaster, lime, and cement shows a steady increase from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the actual import value was lower than the forecasted value for 2024. The year-on-year growth rate from 2024 to 2025 is approximately 0.62%, from 2025 to 2026 is 0.61%, from 2026 to 2027 is 0.59%, and from 2027 to 2028 is 0.58%.
