# Turkish DAP market constrained by high prices | World Ports Organization

> Turkish DAP imports have slumped this year, with April-July arrivals only 43% of the three-year average as high international prices eroded farmer affordability. OCP has sent no DAP to Turkey via Jorf Lasfar since March, and Turkish farmers are relying more on domestic output.

## Why it matters

Demand destruction in a major importer reduces global phosphate demand and pressures trade flows, which partly offsets the supply tightness supporting DAP prices.
