I spoke with Kevin Kimm, CEO of OCP North America
We have been talking since 2020 on efforts to remove the tariff on Moroccan Phosphate (fertilizer) so that it can be competitive with that produced in the U.S. and Saudi Arabia. With Russia and China as other restricted suppliers, the story gets more involved.
Moroccan Phosphate, shipped up the Mississippi River, is not required to pay a tariff to be sold in Canada. It is not restricted in Brazil, nor other grain exporting countries around the world.
The politics here are thick with U.S. farm organizations on one side and the U.S. Fertilizer Industry on the other.
Kevin Kimm is an American, based in St. Louis.
