Local prices
Why your local 50 kg bag price differs
A 50 kg bag of DAP bought from a local dealer includes much more than the world price: bagging, sea freight, import duty, inland transport, storage and the dealer’s margin.
In some countries, the government sets or subsidises the farm-gate price of DAP. There, the price of a 50 kg bag can be far below the import cost, and searches for a “DAP 18-46-0 price 50 kg” usually mean that official retail price. Check the current official price with your local agriculture authority.
