U.S. Ag Chemical Producers Mostly Upbeat, Wary of Tariffs

June 9, 2025--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Developers in the U.S. agricultural chemical sector are trying to ascertain the potential impact of U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs as they prepare for third-quarter project kickoffs, especially as many of these developers rely on imports of major ingredients for fertilizer and other products, such as nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus. Industrial Info is tracking nearly $1 billion worth of ag chemical projects across the U.S. that are set to begin construction in the third quarter, virtually all of which is related to fertilizer development. Nutrien Limited, which is one of the world's largest producers of nitrogenous fertilizers, is preparing for a single project that accounts for more than half of the third quarter's total investment.
