The Fertilizer Institute is praising the USDA’s decision to reestablish a Crop Inputs Economist position within the Office of the Chief Economist. Announced by Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, the position will provide independent analysis and reporting on fertilizer and other crop input markets, including supply, demand, production, trade, and pricing trends. TFI President and CEO Corey Rosenbusch said the move responds to concerns from farmers seeking greater market transparency and more reliable information to navigate volatility in the global fertilizer market. The organization previously supported the creation of the position during testimony before the Senate Agriculture Committee, arguing that fertilizer markets require detailed analysis because domestic production alone does not fully represent the competitive global marketplace serving U.S. growers. Rosenbusch said improved communication and transparency across the agricultural supply chain will help support farmers and ensure a stable fertilizer supply. The fertilizer industry continues investing in domestic production, transportation infrastructure, and distribution networks to strengthen long-term supply availability.
