# Bangladesh Plans To Purchase OCP Fertilizers

> Bangladesh's government approved importing 40,000 tonnes of DAP from Morocco's OCP Group at $1,775 per tonne, up from the previously set $874 per tonne. The purchase follows disruption to Eastern European supply from the Russia-Ukraine war, and Peru has also said it plans to buy Moroccan fertilisers.

## Why it matters

Importers turning to Morocco at sharply higher prices show tight global phosphate supply and support DAP price levels. Feed buyers face higher costs for phosphate-based inputs as Asian and Latin American governments compete for supply.
