The move authorizes the temporary removal of certain duties on phosphate fertilizer imported from Morocco. This step falls under Section 318 of the Tariff Act of 1930 and lasts up to eight months or until the emergency ends.
Immediate access to additional sources became necessary to avoid problems for crop output. Phosphate fertilizer supplies phosphorus that plants need for strong roots growth and high yields. Major crops such as corn soybeans and wheat depend on it. Farmers apply more than half of their yearly phosphate use in fall through early spring. Shortages or high prices at that stage directly cut production and raise costs passed along the food chain.
