China Emerged as a Major Supplier of Phosphates to India

China’s phosphate demand has grown significantly as its agriculture has intensified. DAP/MAP consumption has experienced an annual growth rate of 15 percent over the past decade as phosphate fertilizer consumption grows and farmers use more high analysis products.

This has resulted in China becoming a net exporter, supplying DAP to key countries in Asia, including India, but also selling some product to Latin America.
