Ethiopia's EABC has likely issued a tender to buy 360,000 tonnes of DAP, closing 9 September. Sources expect further tenders bringing total phosphate-containing fertilizer purchases to 800,000-1.36 million tonnes for 2024-25 delivery.
Large East African phosphate tenders add to global DAP demand and can support prices, though the final product mix remains uncertain.
After 193 past bullish trade events, DAP moved a median +0.4% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -0.3% to +1.8%), and +1.9% over 20.

Ethiopia's EABC tender for 360,000 t of DAP, with more tenders expected, adds immediate demand and trade-flow support, which fits the DAP price jump on 2024-08-29.
