农业部宣布13.4亿美元化肥制造投资：8个项目入选 FIELDS 计划，农业部拟出资约5.73亿
美国农业部（USDA）10月22日宣布，化肥投资与扩产长期国内供应计划（FIELDS）首批8个项目入选，拟议投资总额逾13.4亿美元，其中农业部拟出资约5.73亿美元，用于扩大美国本土化肥产能、减少对外国供应商的依赖。副总统万斯与农业部长 Brooke Rollins 当天在内布拉斯加州宣布这一消息。
入选项目包括：TalusAg 在7个州11处地点部署20套模块化合成氨装置（农业部拟出资约9,980万美元）；PCI Nitrogen 改造德州 Pasadena 与俄勒冈州 St. Helens 工厂（约1亿美元）；Intrepid Potash 在新墨西哥州 Carlsbad 附近建硫酸钾工厂（约1.39亿美元）；Agriculture Project Holdco 在堪萨斯州 Lewis 与印第安纳州 Fair Oaks 建两座以乳牛粪为原料的工厂（约1.169亿美元）；以及 Peace Valley（佛罗里达州）、AdvanSix（弗吉尼亚州）、SUL4R-PLUS（伊利诺伊州）与 True Organic Products（加州、俄勒冈州、亚利桑那州）等项目。8个项目预计年产能合计约108万吨。
农业部表示，FIELDS 计划由特朗普总统任内设立，规模5亿美元，并追加从上届政府失败项目收回的资金。农业部经济测算显示，新增产能投产后氮肥价格可望下降4.4%、钾肥下降5.3%，国内氮肥产量提高3.7%、钾肥产量提高近40%。Rollins 表示：「农业安全就是国家安全。美国不能依赖外国来供应种植粮食所需的化肥。」万斯表示，187万农民、874万英亩耕地将用上美国制造的、价格更低的化肥。
USDA Announces $1.34 Billion in Fertilizer Manufacturing Investment: Eight FIELDS Projects Selected
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced on Oct. 22 the selection of eight projects under its Fertilizer Investment & Expansion for Long-Term Domestic Supply (FIELDS) Program, representing more than $1.34 billion in total proposed investment, including approximately $573 million in proposed USDA funding, to expand domestic fertilizer manufacturing and reduce dependence on foreign suppliers. Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins announced the selections in Nebraska.
The selected projects include TalusAg, deploying 20 modular ammonia units across 11 locations in seven states (about $99.8 million in proposed USDA funding); PCI Nitrogen, modernizing facilities in Pasadena, Texas, and St. Helens, Oregon (about $100 million); Intrepid Potash, building a sulfate of potash plant near Carlsbad, New Mexico (about $139 million); Agriculture Project Holdco, developing two manure-based facilities in Lewis, Kansas, and Fair Oaks, Indiana (about $116.9 million); and Peace Valley (Florida), AdvanSix (Virginia), SUL4R-PLUS (Illinois) and True Organic Products (California, Oregon and Arizona). Together the projects are expected to support about 1.08 million tons of annual production capacity.
USDA said the $500 million FIELDS Program was launched under President Trump, supplemented by funding recovered from failed projects under the prior administration's Fertilizer Production Expansion Program. USDA economic analysis estimates the added production could reduce nitrogen fertilizer prices by 4.4% and potash prices by 5.3%, while increasing domestic nitrogen production by 3.7% and potash production by nearly 40%. "Farm security is national security. America cannot afford to depend on foreign nations for the fertilizer needed to grow our food and feed our families," Rollins said. Vance said 1.87 million farmers farming over 8.74 million acres would have lower-cost fertilizer made by Americans.
