Fertilizer Research Act of 2025

Key Points

• This bill requires the Department of Agriculture to create a detailed report on the fertilizer industry within one year. The study will look at how fertilizer prices have changed over the last 25 years and how those costs affect the prices farmers get for their crops.
• The government will investigate if a small number of companies are controlling the market. They want to know if this lack of competition is making fertilizer more expensive for regular farmers and if current regulations are making it harder to produce fertilizer in the U.S.
• The report will also look at where our fertilizer comes from. It will list the foreign and domestic companies importing it and explain how taxes on imports affect the final price farmers pay at the retail level.
• The Department of Agriculture will also study whether a new system is needed to make fertilizer prices more public. This could include a rule requiring companies to report their prices daily or weekly so that the market is more transparent for everyone.
