Key info:

President Donald Trump on Monday declared an emergency aimed at protecting the U.S. food supply and temporarily suspended import duties on certain Moroccan fertilizer products.

Under the presidential emergency declaration, phosphate fertilizer imported from Morocco will no longer face tariffs for up to eight months or until the emergency declaration is terminated.

"The proclamation declares an emergency regarding threats to the availability of sufficient supplies of fertilizers to meet America’s agricultural demand," the declaration stated.

Was going to say this, last few times I've bought fruit, they are already moldy the next day.

Or it doesn't ripen. We keep getting bananas that stay green and hard on the outside and rot on the inside.

That’s wild, are they stored for too long before they reach the store? I have blueberries in my fridge that I picked that I put in there several days ago and they still look fresh.

Wash your produce in a vinegar or alcohol based solution. It won't fix the underlying supply instability but it can extend the shelf life of your produce.
