Fertilizer Canada is deeply concerned by the announcement of tariffs from the U.S. and Canadian governments impacting North American fertilizer trade. Fertilizer plays a vital role in food security, and tariffs will threaten food production and could have cascading impacts on food supply chains. Farmers on both sides of the border rely on North American-produced fertilizer to grow strong, healthy, high-yielding crops that feed us all.  Canadian fertilizer exports to the United States support American farmers and imposing tariffs will jeopardize this deeply integrated, open trading relationship that is vital to North American agricultural producers, particularly as farmers on both sides of the border prepare for spring planting. Imposing U.S. tariffs on Canadian fertilizer imports will distort the U.S. market in favour of countries such as Russia and China, who do not operate under the same environmental, human rights and trade practices, undermining the critical trade goals of each of our countries.
