S&P Global reports that COVID-19 has hit the fertilizer sector since the outset, mainly in China, the largest producer and consumer of phosphates, sulphur and sulphuric acid. Plant shutdowns from late January and transport constraints tightened phosphate supply and pushed prices up, while sulphuric acid prices collapsed.
China's agriculture ministry said it will monitor fertilizer prices to prevent unreasonable increases.
Tighter Chinese phosphate supply supports DAP and TSP prices, which raises feed-phosphate and crop-input costs. Brazil and India could become the next pressure points.
Setelah 31 peristiwa logistik bullish sebelumnya, DAP bergerak median +0,5% selama 5 sesi (58% lebih tinggi; separuh tengah -0,4% sampai +0,9%), dan +1,6% selama 20 sesi.
