Congress is currently considering legislation to add potash and phosphate to the critical minerals list, a list held by the U.S. Geological Survey that designates minerals of high importance for America’s supply chains, consumer needs, and national security. Once a substance is listed as a critical mineral, a single agency is assigned to permit applications and is responsible for coordinating with all other agencies necessary for final approval.

Enter your information on the right to quickly and easily tell your members of Congress that potash and phosphate are critical to our nation’s well-being and should be listed as such by the USGS. 

The fertilizer industry is essential to food security, and therefore our national security. As with other industries, fertilizer supply chains are vulnerable to disruption. Among the policy solutions to ensure the United States has a strong domestic fertilizer production capacity is recognizing the critical importance of the resource dependent fertilizers potash and phosphate.

Tell your members of Congress that you support adding potash and phosphate to the critical minerals list to ensure our nation’s supply of fertilizers that grow the food that feeds our communities.
