SAO PAULO, Oct 5 (Reuters) - Brazilian trade group Anda, which represents global suppliers including Nutrien and Mosaic, confirmed expectations that fertilizer deliveries to Brazilian farmers could fall between 5% and 7% this year, citing market analysts and industry estimates.

Ricardo Tortorella, Anda's executive director, told Reuters in an interview that farmers slowed or canceled purchases amid a rise in prices sparked by the conflict involving Russia and Ukraine. On the other hand, domestic fertilizer production is slated to grow for the first time in 15 years, he said. (Reporting by Ana Mano Editing by Chris Reese)
