# February 2025: German DAP Market Strengthened by Supply Adjustments

> 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.
