The DAP Market in the United States ended positively for the last week of December 2025; however, overall sentiment continues to be cautious due to lower-than-expected demand experienced in the fall. As a consequence of high prices and difficulties related to international trade, growers significantly reduced their use of DAP earlier this year, creating the potential for large inventories and a delay of consumption until next year. On the other hand, although some international suppliers have planned their shipments for the winter season because of the removal of import duties into the United States, market participants have mixed views about how strong an increase in spring usage will occur. Although corn plantings continue to be supported, concerns over affordability and high production costs are projected to continue to impact purchasing decisions. Additionally, tighter global supply resulting from reduced production volumes and export restrictions may limit availability and thus affect the dynamics of the market through the remainder of the spring 2026 application season.
