German DAP prices rose in February 2025 as suppliers including Helm, Lifosa and Purefert revised prices for February shipments. The move followed China's phosphate export restrictions, introduced in December 2024, which continued to tighten global supply.
Demand stayed stable and production rates were moderate.
Tighter Chinese export flows and supplier price increases lift the cost of DAP for European buyers ahead of spring. Continued restrictions keep upward pressure on phosphate prices.
After 193 past bullish trade events, DAP moved a median +0.4% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -0.3% to +1.8%), and +1.9% over 20.
