After years of pressure from corn growers and other farm groups who argued phosphate fertilizer tariffs have added billions of dollars to production costs, the Trump administration is temporarily suspending duties on phosphate fertilizer imports from Morocco.
President Donald Trump on Monday declared a national emergency over fertilizer supplies and signed a proclamation allowing phosphate fertilizers from Morocco to enter the United States free of duties and estimated duty deposits for up to eight months, or until the declared emergency ends. The White House says the Executive Order is aimed at helping ensure an adequate supply of phosphate fertilizer for American Farmers.
