DR ‹ › The Trump administration is exploring alternative sources of fertilizer, including Morocco, amid supply disruptions linked to the war with Iran, White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett said on Tuesday. «We've established licenses for Venezuela to produce more fertilizer. We've had discussions with Morocco», he said on CNBC's Squawk Box, describing the move as «an insurance policy against disruption» for U.S. farmers. «I'm not saying we can eliminate the disruption entirely, but we can minimize it», he added. Global fertilizer supplies have tightened following disruptions to key nitrogen exports from the Gulf, pushing prices up by more than one-third in recent weeks.
