Sen. Jerry Moran (R-KS) together with 14 other senators and 24 members of the House, sent a letter this week to Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo to stress that reducing or eliminating the duty on key imports of phosphate fertilizers from Morocco “would provide welcomed relief for U.S. farm suppliers and their customers, American family farms.”

 

Without those imports, the U.S. is forced to rely on other imports to make up for domestic supply shortfalls, according to the lawmakers, which include 17 members of the House and Senate Ag Committees.
