National Sorghum Producers applauds presidential action on phosphate fertilizer imports
WASHINGTON (June 29, 2026) — National Sorghum Producers applauded President Donald Trump’s proclamation temporarily suspending certain duties on phosphate fertilizer imports from Morocco, saying the action will help improve fertilizer availability and provide timely relief to farmers facing tight margins and high input costs.
“Fertilizer is one of the largest expenses sorghum producers face each year,” said NSP Chair Amy France, a farmer from Scott City, Kan. “This action is an important step toward improving access to competitively priced fertilizer as farmers plan for the 2027 crop. We appreciate President Trump and his administration recognizing the challenges facing America’s farmers and taking meaningful action to help ease input cost pressures.”
NSP supports policies that strengthen fertilizer market competition, improve supply chain resiliency and ensure U.S. farmers have access to the crop nutrients they need at reasonable prices.
