# US fertilizer suppliers withdraw offers

> Several US fertilizer suppliers withdrew spot offers on February 24, 2022, as uncertainty from Russia's invasion of Ukraine unsettled markets. Mosaic pulled DAP, MAP and MOP barge offers, and some nitrogen suppliers also withdrew offers. Market participants expected spring supply to be unaffected, but values, already rising for Nola urea, could climb.

## Why it matters

Withdrawn offers reduce phosphate and potash availability at US ports, and the planned loss of Belarusian potash from April tightens supply further. Buyers should expect firmer DAP, potash and urea prices.
