A bill that would create emergency waivers for duties levied on fertilizers by the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) was introduced in Congress last week.“Farmers and ranchers in Texas and across the U.S. are already suffering from high fertilizer costs,” TFB National Legislative Director Laramie Adams said. “Tariffs on fertilizer would just drive up the prices for these products even more.”The Emergency Relief from Duties Act was introduced by two Kansas lawmakers—U.S. Sen. Roger Marshall and U.S. Rep. Tracey Mann.The bill comes as the ITC levied tariffs against imports of phosphate fertilizer at the request of a U.S. fertilizer company.
