# Global Phosphorous Market Well Balanced in 2019

> DTN reports that the global phosphate market appears well balanced heading into 2019, citing Mosaic analysis. Phosphate shipments rose from about 61 million tons in 2010 to an estimated 70 million tons in 2018. Possible Chinese environmental curbs on production and exports could tighten supply and lift prices.

## Why it matters

Balanced supply now, with a risk of Chinese export cuts, leaves phosphate prices exposed to upside if those curbs take hold. Higher phosphate costs would pressure feed phosphate inputs.
