Grain Farmers of Ontario is one of the leading farm organizations pleading for a return of the 35 per cent tariff on fertilizer imported this spring from Russia.
They say Canada is the only country to impose a tariff on fertilizer, but that appears to be false because this week the International Trade Commission in the United States said it will be lifting United States’ tariffs on fertilizers from Russia.
The organizations involved in the lobbying are the Atlantic Grains Council, Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario, Fertilizer Canada, Grain Farmers of Ontario, Ontario Agri Business Association, Ontario Bean Growers, Ontario Canola Growers, Québec Grain Farmers, Sollio Agriculture, and Sylvite Agri-Services.
