The Fertilizer Transparency Act of 2026 requires fertilizer manufacturers and wholesalers to report their prices and sales quantities to the U.S. Department of Agriculture at least weekly. The reported information would cover nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and finished fertilizer products, with separate tracking of domestic versus foreign suppliers. The USDA would publish this data weekly at national, regional, and state levels, and would also conduct weekly surveys of retail fertilizer prices to give farmers and market participants transparent pricing information to make better purchasing decisions. Agricultural cooperatives and retailers are exempt from mandatory reporting but may voluntarily provide data. The legislation protects confidential business information by requiring the USDA to aggregate data in dashboards and other public resources while preventing disclosure of individual company details.
