# Import Duties Against Moroccan Phosphate Imports Threaten US Farmers’ Access to Key Fertilizers – Phosphate Price

> Combined US MAP and DAP imports fell 43 percent between July and December 2020 as the countervailing duty investigation advanced against Morocco and Russia. Those two countries had supplied about 80 percent of US MAP and DAP imports, and non-traditional suppliers such as Australia, Egypt and Jordan could not fully replace them.
