The Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) and Monammonium Phosphate (MAP) markets remained stable on October 12, according to Feidoodoo data. The domestic index for 55% powdered DAP was 3131.25, granular 55% at 2820.00, and 58% powdered at 3333.33, all unchanged. Most enterprises continued fulfilling prior orders with few new transactions.
