The heat turns up on Mosaic and Nutrien

North American fertilizer majors Nutrien and Mosaic are coming under more scrutiny after corn grower groups urged the US Department of Justice (DOJ) to disclose progress on its probe into fertilizer pricing and market concentration, as phosphate prices remain elevated ahead of spring applications.
Two grower associations have pressed the issue this February: the Texas Corn Producers Association (TCPA) asked Attorney General Pamela Bondi for a formal status update, while the Iowa Corn Growers Association has also been pushing for tougher scrutiny and more transparency around fertiliser competition and pricing.
