Mosaic maintains support for phosphate countervailing duties
The Mosaic Company continues to advocate for countervailing duties on Moroccan and Russian phosphate fertilizers, asserting these duties are essential for U.S. phosphate production and do not negatively impact U.S. farmers, as evidenced by lower domestic prices compared to other major markets. Despite independent studies suggesting increased costs for farmers, Mosaic believes the duties are necessary to counteract foreign government subsidies and ensure a stable domestic supply during global disruptions. This stance is supported by Simplot, while Nutrien and many agricultural groups, including the American Soybean Association, oppose the duties, citing rising fertilizer prices.
