# Trump has cut tariffs on fertilizer, but lower prices could remain elusive | Agri-Pulse Communications, Inc.

> President Trump's November 14 executive order exempted urea, ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulphate and phosphate fertilizers from reciprocal tariffs, while potash was already exempt. Anhydrous ammonia was added to a list for potential future tariff adjustments. Analysts told Agri-Pulse that fertilizer prices will likely stay elevated through the next planting season despite the tariff cuts.

## Why it matters

Tariff relief on urea and phosphates lowers import costs, but tight global supply and continued countervailing duties on Moroccan phosphate limit price declines. Feed buyers should not expect a quick drop in fertilizer-driven corn costs.
