#TrumpTariffs Spark Fertilizer Shock That Could Raise Food Prices Nationwide

?...


American farmers are facing growing financial pressure as fertilizer costs surge following new tariffs on Canadian imports. Potash, a key nutrient required for crop production, is now significantly more expensive, placing additional strain on farm operations already dealing with tight margins.

Because the United States relies heavily on Canada for potash and other fertilizers, tariffs have quickly translated into higher input costs. Industry experts warn these increases are being passed directly to farmers, with little ability to recover losses through crop pricing, potentially impacting food prices for consumers.
