| Driver | Impact |
|---|---|
| China phosphate export restrictions | Phosphate export ban through August 2026 is the dominant price driver for MAP. |
| DAP substitution | MAP and DAP have similar P2O5 content; buyers switch between them, compressing the spread. |
| Ammonia feedstock | MAP production requires ammonia; natural gas prices set the floor. |
| Global demand centers | Brazil and India phosphate demand affects global allocation to U.S. importers. |
