The American Soybean Association thanked President Trump for his Executive Order action to amend the scope of reciprocal tariffs, which will remove duties on critical fertilizers used for soybean production. Farm production and input costs continue to strain farm margins and ensuring certain products are not impacted by reciprocal tariffs will reduce the cost of the key fertilizers used by soybean farmers.
Executive Order 14257 amends the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States by adding diammonia and monoammonia phosphates (DAP and MAP) as well as potassium chloride (potash) to the annex of products not subject to tariff duties.
“Soybean farmers are currently making difficult financial decisions as they plan for next year’s planting after a harvest season full of challenges,” said Caleb Ragland, ASA president and Kentucky soybean farmer. “Today’s action by President Trump will help lower costs for one key component of soybean production. U.S. soybean farmers are grateful that the administration has acted to ensure DAP, MAP, and potash will no longer face import duties.”
