Bill > HR6192

This bill, known as the "Fertilizer Research Act of 2025", requires the Secretary of Agriculture to publish a comprehensive report on the United States fertilizer industry within one year of the Act's enactment. The report must cover a wide range of topics, including the industry's impact on agricultural product prices, market size and value over the past 25 years, fertilizer pricing patterns, importation details (such as types of fertilizer, importing companies, and countries of origin), an overview of the supply chain, an analysis of industry concentration and potential anticompetitive impacts, an evaluation of emerging fertilizer technologies, an assessment of the regulatory environment, and an examination of current price reporting transparency. The report must also include a study of potential new reporting mechanisms for fertilizer prices and a projection of the industry's future growth and associated economic and political risks. Importantly, the bill specifies that the report must not include any confidential business information, ensuring that sensitive data remains protected while providing a comprehensive public overview of the fertilizer industry.
