Verde AgriTech Reports Q2 2026 Revenue Drop Amid Brazilian Fertilizer Market Struggles
Event summary

- Sales volume totaled 46,709 tons in Q2 2026, compared with 80,354 tons in Q2 2025, as customers deferred purchases amid financial pressure.
- EBITDA before non-cash events was $(1.2) million in Q2 2026, compared with $(0.2) million in Q2 2025, reflecting lower gross profit and higher credit loss provisions.
- The company held $4.1 million in cash and $5.7 million in short-term receivables as of June 30, 2026, up from $2.4 million and $8.2 million, respectively, a year earlier.
