Retail anhydrous ammonia prices in Illinois have risen significantly compared to both last year and two years prior, reaching levels only seen once in the past decade. High nitrogen fertilizer costs are creating strong economic incentives for farmers to reduce application rates, though historical data shows many farmers have been slow to adjust rates downward even when prices are elevated.
The fall projected price for DAP used in the 2027 MCO crop insurance calculation is the highest in 11 years, signaling firm input cost pressure for the upcoming crop year. Elevated DAP values feed directly into margin calculations for corn producers, supporting higher input cost assumptions in crop insurance pricing.

Asia
In China, the average monthly price for DAP was ~USD 631/MT (EXW) in June. The market remained supported during Q2 by disruptions to Middle Eastern fertilizer logistics, which restricted sulfur availability and increased production costs. Higher sulfur costs squeezed phosphate producers and contributed to operating curtailments, while strong import requirements across Asia added pressure to international availability. India averaged ~USD 698/MT (CIF) in June as import demand remained a major support factor. India agreed to purchase 1.35 million tonnes of DAP in a May tender, reflecting strong requirements amid tight international supply. Government support for domestic fertilizer pricing also limited the direct impact of higher international costs on farmers. By late June, improving sulfur and fertilizer flows through the Strait of Hormuz began easing supply pressure.
Europe
Germany recorded an average DAP price of ~USD 724/MT (CIF) in June. European markets were primarily influenced by global sulfur and phosphate availability rather than domestic demand alone. Disruptions to Middle Eastern trade flows tightened sulfur supply and raised production costs for phosphate fertilizer manufacturers, encouraging some producers to reassess operating rates. The resulting reduction in supply flexibility supported DAP market conditions through the middle of Q2. Toward the end of the quarter, improving logistics reduced some of the earlier pressure, although fertilizer flows had not fully normalised.
North America
The USA recorded an average DAP price of ~USD 750/MT (CIF) in June. Restricted international supply and higher sulfur costs kept the market elevated, while phosphate producers faced higher raw-material expenses. Some production was curtailed as sulfur availability tightened, adding to regional supply concerns. However, improving imports and policy measures aimed at increasing Moroccan phosphate availability began easing pressure toward quarter-end. More than 500 vessels remained stranded after the disruption, indicating that logistics were still recovering.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, DAP markets are expected to remain sensitive to sulfur availability, phosphate trade flows, import demand, and the pace of logistics normalisation.

Asia
In China, DAP prices moved upward during Q1’26 as domestic supply remained prioritized over exports. China maintained its phosphate fertilizer export suspension through August 2026, limiting export availability during the peak domestic consumption season. Higher ammonia-linked production costs and firm phosphoric acid requirements supported market sentiment. In India, DAP demand remained steady due to seasonal fertilizer application. Buyers also tracked supply risks from the Gulf region, especially after fertilizer producers faced a 30% gas supply cut from March 9, which affected ammonia-linked production economics.
Europe
European DAP prices remained firm due to tighter import availability and higher logistics risk. Fertilizer producers in Europe withdrew offers during the early conflict phase, creating a supply gap that had to be covered by higher-cost origins from the US and Southeast Asia. War-risk insurance for Persian Gulf transits rose 50%, while shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz fell 75%, making prompt cargo planning more difficult. Higher freight risk and limited nearby offers kept buyers cautious.
North America
North American DAP prices were supported by export interest and supply-chain risk premiums. The region was less directly exposed to Middle East supply disruption than Asia, but stronger buying interest from Europe and Asia supported market sentiment. Europe’s shift toward US-origin cargoes added firmness, while freight uncertainty kept exporters focused on committed volumes rather than aggressive new offers.
Diammonium Phosphate or DAP is an inorganic phosphate. It is a part of the diammonium salt of phosphoric acid. Being an inorganic phosphate as well as an ammonium salt, it depicts properties of both. It is soluble in water.
