April phosphoric acid postings were quoted at $13.50/unit FOB Pocatello, Idaho, with rail-DEL offers ranging from $14.00-$14.15/unit in the Pacific Northwest, depending on supplier.
India:
Second-quarter contract talks between Indian buyers and sellers in North America remained in progress, sources confirmed. Despite the lack of a settlement, pricing was widely expected to eventually fall in line with OCP’s previously announced $998/mt CFR contract level.
For now, the market remained in a wide range at $795-$998/mt P2O5 CFR due to the lack of seller agreement.
