Platts proposes launch of DAP CFR Southeast Asia assessment Feb. 5

Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, proposes to launch Diammonium Phosphate CFR Thailand assessment, effective Feb. 5, 2026. This assessment would further improve transparency in the DAP market in Southeast Asia.

Information on other relevant markets - including DAP of different colours, qualities, sizes and locations - would be considered and normalized, where necessary, to align with the standard specifications listed above.
