Fertilizer Canada is concerned by the announcement of tariffs from the US and Canadian governments impacting North American fertilizer trade. Fertilizer plays a vital role?in food security, and tariffs will threaten food production and could have cascading impacts on food supply chains.
Farmers on both sides of the border rely on North American-produced fertilizer to grow strong, healthy, high-yielding crops that feed us all. Canadian fertilizer exports to the US support American farmers and imposing?tariffs will jeopardise this deeply integrated, open trading relationship?that is?vital to North American agricultural producers, particularly as farmers on both sides of the border prepare for spring planting. Imposing US tariffs on Canadian fertilizer imports will distort the US market in favour of countries such as Russia and China, who do not operate under the same environmental, human rights and trade practices, undermining the critical trade goals of each of our countries. – Source: World Fertilizer
