Andhra Pradesh is facing an acute DAP fertilizer shortage that threatens kharif paddy cultivation across more than 1.2 million hectares. Companies have scaled back DAP production because government price controls and subsidies leave them unable to pass on international cost increases.
Domestic Indian DAP shortages signal tight phosphate availability, which could increase import demand and support global phosphate prices.
After 151 past bullish policy events, DAP moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (50% higher; middle half -0.6% to +0.9%), and +1.9% over 20.
After 100 past neutral policy events, Rough Rice moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -2.6% to +2.3%), and +0.7% over 20.
