Fertilizer Research Act of 2023

This bill requires the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to publish a detailed report on the U.S. fertilizer industry within one year of enactment. The report must cover market size trends over 25 years, import data (including sources and companies), pricing patterns, supply chain issues, industry concentration, emerging fertilizer technologies, regulatory impacts, and transparency needs for public price reporting. The bill directly affects the USDA, which must compile this data, and indirectly affects fertilizer manufacturers, distributors, and agricultural producers by mandating greater industry transparency. It does not change existing regulations or prices but requires a comprehensive analysis to inform future policy discussions.
