The OCP Group responded to the decision released today by the U.S. Department of Commerce to impose preliminary countervailing duties of 23.46 percent on U.S. imports of Moroccan phosphate fertilizers. OCP said the petition filed by The Mosaic Co. was “misguided.”
“We cooperated fully in this first phase and will continue to make our case in the second phase of the process, due to be completed by March 2021,” said OCP. “We remain confident that by the end of this process it will be clear there are no grounds for imposing countervailing duties on Moroccan fertilizer imports.”
