# U.S. Commerce Department lowers Moroccan phosphate duties - Brownfield Ag News

> The US Commerce Department cut anti-dumping duties on Moroccan phosphate fertilizer from 19.97% to 2.12%. Agricultural groups, including the National Corn Growers Association, had requested the change. Analysts said the cut will ease inventories but will not bring quick price relief, because shipments take weeks to arrive.
