Chinese MAP and DAP ex-factory prices stood at 1,880 and 2,202 RMB/MT at end-November 2019, down about 20% and 19% year on year. Low phosphate rock and sulfur costs, with sulfur at port the lowest since 2008, plus limited output cuts that failed to lift prices, are keeping P-fertilizer prices depressed.
Exports fell in January-October 2019.
Cheap Chinese phosphate supply and weak export demand point to continued low DAP and MAP prices in the near term, lowering input costs for phosphate-dependent feed inputs and fertilizer buyers.
