The National Corn Growers Association and five other national groups are asking the U.S. Court of International Trade to overturn a decision by the International Trade Commission (ITC) to impose tariffs on phosphate fertilizers imported from Morocco.
NCGA President Chris Edgington tells Brownfield Ag News the Mosaic Company petitioned for the tariffs and has since seen its share of the phosphate market grow from 74% to 80%, a near monopoly.
