INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW The domestic phosphate fertilizer industry is reeling from an unprecedented surge in subsidized, low-priced imports from Morocco and Russia. The domestic industry's losses and declines - most notable in terms of production, shipments, prices, profits, market share, and employment - are unsustainable on the current trajectory. The Mosaic Company ("Mosaic" or "Petitioner") therefore files these Petitions under section 701 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the "Act"), 19- U.S.C. § 1671 et seq., seeking the imposition of countervailing duties on imports of subsidized phosphate fertilizers from Morocco and Russia. The Moroccan and Russian governments have heavily subsidized their domestic phosphate fertilizer industries for years. This government support takes various forms, including artificially cheap debt and specific tax breaks, but the most distortive form of support is the provision of phosphate rock mining rights on below-market terms. This significant subsidy dramatically lowers the cost to obtain the essential input in all phosphate fertilizers. Armed with this unfair cost advantage, large export champions like OCP, S.A. of Morocco ("OCP" or "OCP Group") and PhosAgro and Eurochem of Russia have penetrated the U.S. market and taken sales and market share from the domestic industry. Over the past three years, Moroccan and Russian producers have flooded the U.S. market with subsidized imports, causing material injury to the domestic industry. Subject import volumes rose from 2.1 million short tons in 2017 to 3.1 million short tons in 2019, an increase of 48%, and increased progressively year over year. 1 Subject imports surged to record levels in 2018 and have continued to enter the United States at unprecedented volumes despite prices in 1 See Annual Import Data 2017-2019 & Jan.-Apr. 2019 & 2020, attached as Exhibit I-1. - I-1 - PROPRIETARY INFORMATION DELETED PUBLIC VERSION CONTAINS RANGED DATA the U.S. market falling to decade lows. While the domestic industry was forced to curtail production and close facilities, low-priced imports continued their surge, capturing an ever­ increasing share of the U.S. market at the expense of the domestic industry. The rapid increase in imports of phosphate fertilizers has had a devastating impact on the domestic industry and its workers. Domestic producers have been unable to carry out production operations at a reasonable level of profit, forcing them to idle and shut down production facilities. There are now few domestic producers of any size remaining. Despite being the largest, most sophisticated

  • The Outlook for Potash Prices Has Taken a ‘
    The outlook for potash prices has taken a ‘cautiously’ optimistic turn Rio Tinto (‘Rio’, NYS: RIO) has decided to proceed with its plans to build a potash mine. The Australian Rio will work with its Canadian joint venture partner North Atlantic Potash company (an Acron Group subsidiary) to develop the Albany Project using solution mining. The Albany deposit is said to hold inferred resources of 1.4 billion tons at an average grade of 31% KCl with about 30% recoverability. Rio Tinto’s entry into the North American potash industry has added more pressure on what seems to be an already oversupplied sector. In 2013, BHP Billiton (NYSE: BHP) decided to build what will be the world’s largest potash mine; that project alone threatens to break the model preferred by CANPOTEX (the pricing consortium that includes PotashCorp, Agrium and Mosaic), which relies on regulating supply to sustain price rather than compete on the basis of lower prices. The CANPOTEX companies may become victims of their own pricing mechanism, having shown the world just what kind of high margins are possible in the potash market. It should be no surprise that the world’s mining giants have wanted to claim their own stake in the potash industry. Nevertheless, the added pressure and the dissolution of BPC, the Russian/Belarusian equivalent of CANPOTEX, have not done much harm to PotashCorp’s stock price. Indeed, shares of PotashCorp (NYSE: POT) have rebounded to the high USD$ 30’s and low 40’s in June, which is exactly what they were on the day before Belaruskali and Uralkali ended the BPC pricing mechanism on July 30, 2013.
