# Colorado Corn signs national letter demanding withdrawal of phosphate tariffs – Sterling Journal-Advocate

> Colorado corn growers have joined the National Corn Growers Association in demanding that Mosaic withdraw its request for tariffs on phosphate imports. The US Commerce Department imposed duties of 9% to 47% on phosphate from Morocco and Russia in March 2021, and growers say these have pushed prices sharply higher.

## Why it matters

Duties restrict import supply of phosphate fertilizer into the US, keeping domestic DAP prices high and raising corn production costs. Any reversal would ease that pressure.
