> Farm Weekly reports that DAP prices have risen in Australian dollar terms over the past couple of months, with China's DAP at A$987/t versus A$917/t in October. The author notes that DAP remains well above pre-COVID levels. Tight supply, partly from Chinese export restrictions, is cited as a key reason for the increase.

## Why it matters
