US farmers face sharply higher phosphate prices, with one grower reporting about $200 more per ton than a year ago. Tariffs on Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt, which supplied 86% of US phosphate imports last year, have constrained supply.
A National Corn Growers Association survey found nearly 40% of producers plan to cut fertilizer applications.
Planned fertilizer cutbacks could lower application rates and reduce yields, while high input costs against weak crop prices squeeze farm margins. Tariffs keep US phosphate prices elevated relative to global markets.
