# China Phosphate Rock Market Hit by Export Ban, Prices and Supply Affected

> Chinese phosphate rock prices are holding firm amid an international phosphate derivatives export ban and domestic environmental curbs. Operating rates have slipped, with Guizhou at 50.5% and Yunnan at 59.1%, while phosphoric acid utilisation stands at 47.05%. Traditional winter shutdowns from December to March are expected to tighten supply further.

## Why it matters

Tight domestic supply of high-magnesium phosphate rock and limited import competitiveness support phosphate fertiliser costs, which feed into feed-phosphate and fertiliser pricing. Prices are expected to stay firm or rise modestly in the short term.
