The Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP) and Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) markets show continued upward trends as of August 14, according to Feidoodoo data. The domestic 55% powdered MAP index rose to 2848.57, while granular and 58% powdered grades remained stable. Limited supply due to production suspensions and strong demand have created a tight market, supporting further short-term price increases. Meanwhile, the 64% granular DAP index increased to 3556, driven by rising sulfuric acid costs and low inventories among producers. Many enterprises are withholding sales or pausing quotations, reflecting seller reluctance amid sustained downstream demand. Despite minimal purchasing from end users, market fundamentals—low stocks, firm demand, and upstream cost pressures—suggest DAP prices will remain firm in the near term. Overall, both MAP and DAP markets are experiencing supply constraints and cost-driven price strength, pointing to sustained or slightly higher prices ahead.
