# Pakistan ends kharif with above-normal DAP stocks | World Ports Organization

> Pakistan finished the April-September kharif season with above-normal DAP stocks of 392,000t, as domestic demand fell 138,000t below the five-year average. Many cash-strapped farmers avoided DAP after importers passed high international costs to the domestic market. Importers are well stocked and holding off fresh purchases despite a softening market.

## Why it matters

Heavy Pakistani inventories and paused import buying reduce near-term DAP demand, which is bearish for international DAP prices even though levels remain historically high.
