> Moroccan fertilizer shipments to the US rose about 33.6% by volume in the first nine months of 2026, to roughly 233,270 tonnes worth over $161 million, led by concentrated phosphate and DAP.

## Why it matters

Sulfur is a key input for sulfuric acid used in phosphate processing, so rising sulfur costs squeeze Moroccan phosphate fertilizer margins and support DAP and TSP prices. Stronger US demand for Moroccan phosphate adds some tightness to the phosphate market.
