The monoammonium phosphate (MAP) market saw continued price increases on August 16, with the 55% powder, 55% granular, and 58% powder indices at 2,890, 2,821, and 3,150 respectively, driven by firm enterprise pricing and strong upward pressure from raw materials. Rising synthetic ammonia, sulfur, and phosphate rock prices are supporting MAP cost bases. Most producers have paused quotations and orders, while downstream demand remains limited to small on-demand purchases. In contrast, diammonium phosphate (DAP) prices remained stable across key grades (64% granular at 3,556, 60% brown at 3,000, 57% at 3,050), as enterprises focus on fulfilling pre-sold domestic and export contracts. Strong international DAP demand has lifted export prices, contributing to a positive market outlook. With autumn season demand on the horizon, both MAP and DAP markets are expected to remain firm in the near term, underpinned by robust raw material trends and sustained export momentum for DAP.
