Florida sources fertilizer via Tampa Bay ports (proximity to phosphate mining) and Jacksonville; phosphate prices are among the lowest in the nation due to local mining.
| Driver | Impact |
|---|---|
| Chinese generic production | China dominates global glyphosate API production; U.S. tariff policy determines import costs. |

| Generic vs. branded pricing | Generic 41% AI is functionally identical to branded Roundup; 30–40% cost savings available. |
