International phosphate prices are firm to higher on healthy demand, tight supply, and rising feedstock costs. Phosphoric acid rose $28/t for Indian third-quarter contracts, and China offered DAP at $420/t FOB for export.

Higher DAP and phosphate costs raise fertilizer expenses for crop producers and tighten the phosphate supply chain. The rupee's decline makes imports more expensive for Indian buyers, which can dampen demand.
