WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL-03), Jimmy Panetta (D-CA-19), and U.S. Senators Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) and Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.), sent a letter to Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum requesting to reinstate potash and add phosphate—both critical fertilizer ingredients—to the U.S. Critical Minerals List. In the letter, the lawmakers explain this designation will support domestic production and strengthen supply chains, important steps to protecting food security and stabilizing the market for farmers.
“At the very heart of this issue are the American farmers who work tirelessly to feed Americans and much of the world. Fertilizers containing potash and phosphate are essential to maintaining soil fertility, improving crop yields, and ensuring consistent food production,” the lawmakers wrote. “Without access to a stable and affordable supply of these minerals, farmers face higher costs, reduced yields, and increased uncertainty—challenges that threaten their livelihoods and the food security of millions of American families.”
“Potash and phosphate are essential to growing the food that sustains our nation,” said Rep. Cammack. “Our farmers in Florida rely on these minerals to ensure soil fertility and high crop yields that feed our state and nation. It’s important we ensure their availability so our producers have the tools needed to continue their important work.”
