FRANKFURT, Feb 3 (Reuters) - German mineral mining group
K+S  SDFGn.DE , which also produces potash fertilisers in
Canada, said that import tariffs to be imposed by the United
States would greatly challenge U.S. farmers.
    "The Unites States, one of the largest users of potash
fertilisers, does not have any noteworthy potash fertiliser
production of its own and therefore relies on larger import
quantities," the company said in a statement, when asked to
comment on the tariffs.
    "The decision that was just taken therefore poses a great
challenge for the domestic agriculture sector," it added.
