# Fertilizer Industry Urges Passing USMCA

> The Fertilizer Institute and Fertilizer Canada welcomed a bipartisan agreement on the USMCA trade deal and urged swift ratification by the U.S. and Canadian legislatures. They said the deal would expand market access and protect access to cost-effective fertilizer across North America. Trade uncertainty, including the U.S.-China dispute and U.S. sanctions on Iran, was discussed at a November conference.

## Why it matters

Ratification would reduce trade friction on fertilizer flows between the U.S., Canada and Mexico, which helps keep North American input costs stable. The effect on prices is limited unless the deal changes actual trade volumes.
