# August '23 Farmer Fertilizer Focus - Phosphates

> StoneX's Josh Linville says global phosphate values have ticked up in recent weeks as Russian and Moroccan producers got higher netbacks. Chinese exports are rising, which changes the supply and demand balance, and he calls the near-term outlook a coin flip. North American prices remain supported by the continued US countervailing duty on major phosphate exporters.
