RAPU requests a moratorium on phosphorus fertilizers. The head of the association, Andrey Guriev, proposed to the US to temporarily suspend the corresponding tariff on the import of this type of mineral products from Russia. He believes this will help stabilize the market situation. After the outbreak of the conflict in the Middle East and the blocking of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, the United States has already temporarily removed a similar obligation for producers from Morocco, another major supplier of phosphate fertilizers. However, this step did not result in a significant reduction in the prices of fertilizers and did not solve the problem of the availability of raw materials, Gureyev emphasized. According to him, it would be reasonable to extend the temporary freeze to Russian suppliers. Furthermore, Russia is traditionally one of the largest exporters of fertilizers to the United States. Thus, in the first half of 2026, the supply of fertilizers to the United States increased by almost 25%. The corresponding tariff on imports of Russian phosphate fertilizers to the United States was introduced in April 2021 and has been revised several times since then. In June 2026, the US Department of Commerce set specific tariffs: about 14.64% for PhosAgro, 24.11% for EuroChem and 16.64% for other Russian suppliers. Last week, the special representative of the Russian president for investments and economic cooperation with foreign countries, the head of the RDIF, Kirill Dmitriev, said that in addition to diesel, Russia is able to supply significant quantities of fertilizers to the US.
