Why 85% of U.S. Fertilizer Comes From ONE Country — The Food Supply Nobody Discusses

Video Description

US Canada food dependency tariffs fertilizer potash agriculture 2026 — 85% of American potash comes from one country. 60% of crude oil imports. 90% of leafy greens in winter. And that country is Canada. Right now, a trade confrontation threatens to sever one of the most critical supply relationships in American history. And almost nobody is talking about the food implications. This video examines the hidden dependencies connecting American grocery stores to Canadian farms, mines, and power plants. The tariffs disrupting these connections. The fertilizer crisis that could reshape American agriculture. Why your food prices are rising. And why this matters far more than the political headlines suggest. The US imports 90% of its potash — an irreplaceable component of modern farming. Potash deposits are geographically specific. Mine development takes years. There are no quick alternatives. Canada supplies nearly all of it. Tariffs of 10-25% now apply to Canadian imports. Fertilizer can comprise 40% of crop production costs. When potash prices rise, everything rises. From Canadian mines to American dinner tables, the connections are inescapable. The stakes: your grocery bill, American food security, and whether farmers can afford to grow crops. ⚠️DISCLAIMER: This video uses an AI-generated avatar for presentation purposes.
