Thus, "this procedure aims to challenge the unfounded decisions of the US International Trade Commission (ITC) and the US Department of Commerce (DOC) regarding the injury caused to the local fertilizer industry and the rate applied," OCP specified, stressing that the group "will also intervene against the appeal procedure initiated by Mosaic aimed at increasing the level of duties applied".

It should be noted that "these actions are part of the continuity of the efforts made by the OCP Group to oppose the unfounded application of these countervailing duties, and in the desire to continue to serve American farmers by enabling them to secure a reliable and diversified supply of adapted and high-quality fertilizers," it stressed.
