# IFA: MAP and DAP production seen up 4 percent to 66.8 Mt in 2024, still below 2020 | Sulfur Wire

> The International Fertilizer Association's short-term outlook projects 2024 phosphoric acid output up 4% to 88.4 million tonnes and MAP plus DAP up 4% to 66.8 million tonnes. Growth is led by China and Morocco, but output remains below 2020 peaks. The report also links phosphate sulfur demand to growing nickel HPAL demand.

## Why it matters

A modest recovery in phosphate production adds supply that could ease fertilizer prices, though output still trails 2020 levels, leaving phosphate costs firm for feed producers.
