In August 2025, global phosphate fertilizer prices met with rising resistance from buyers. This month, the Mono-Ammonium Phosphate (MAP) market in China was down 2.63% though buyers remained careful as limited global supply reduced potential for a rapid price drop. Buyers cautiously balanced affordability against supply. This meant that buyers likely did not expect MAP prices to drop severely but had limited ability to assess buyers' intentions while prices eased. There was a narrow opportunity for price adjustment when scarcity continued to uphold values even while demand eased. Overall, the period continued to shift buyer sentiment and gradually ease prices.
