Ottawa-Canada has extended Most-Favored-Nation status to Libya. While the current tariff on Libya is 35 percent, the average MFN tariff is 5.5 percent. The most immediate impact on the fertilizer industry should be for urea to Eastern Canada from Libya. Yara International ASA has the marketing rights to that product. The change of status was reported in the Canada Gazette Feb. 18. The government sought industry input last summer and said it received no opposition. Those expressing support included the Canadian Fertilizer Institute and the Government of Alberta, as well as major Canadian federal agencies.
