Mosaic has idled its South Fort Meade phosphate plant amid a global sulfur shortage. Reporting also indicates fertilizer bills are about 15% higher than in previous seasons, with costs passed through despite stable fruit and vegetable output prices.
Idling phosphate capacity tightens global phosphate supply and supports DAP and TSP prices, raising feed-related input costs.
After 31 past bullish logistics events, DAP moved a median +0.5% over 5 sessions (58% higher; middle half -0.4% to +0.9%), and +1.6% over 20.
