Brooke Rollins rolls out plan to reshore fertilizer production amid Iran war price spike

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins announced steps the Trump administration is taking to reshore fertilizer production over the next several years, saying she expects domestic nitrogen production to increase by over 30%.

The price of fertilizer has taken a hit during the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, as the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps choked off the Strait of Hormuz, a vital fertilizer shipping point. Rollins outlined moves the administration has made to reduce fertilizer costs in the short term, while also announcing plans to ensure the onshoring of more fertilizer producers in the long term.
