Hurricane Ian Threatens to Make Food Inflation Worse as Path Aims at Fertilizer Hub
Florida is home to phosphate mines, DAP and MAP sites

Hurricane Ian is poised to strike at the nation’s production of phosphate fertilizer, threatening supply as the cost of growing food in the US rises by the most ever.
Florida is home to Mosaic Co.’s phosphate rock assets, where they mine product, and to facilities where they turn that rock into fertilizers like diammonium phosphate and monoammonium phosphate, commonly known as DAP and MAP.
