# US Rules on Phosphorus Trade Dispute

> The US Commerce Department made a preliminary affirmative countervailing duty determination on phosphate fertilizer imports from Morocco and Russia, with rates of 19.97% for OCP, 9.13% for PhosAgro, 47.05% for EuroChem and 17.2% for other producers. The US International Trade Commission is expected to decide in March, and the imports total roughly $1 billion annually.

## Why it matters

If duties are finalized, US phosphate fertilizer costs for imported product would rise sharply, supporting domestic producer Mosaic and tightening supply. Higher phosphate input costs can lift feed phosphate prices.
