Today, the domestic market for phosphoric monoammonium witnessed a slight downward adjustment. On the enterprise side, there was limited follow-up on new orders, with only a small quantity of previously ordered goods being shipped. Regarding the market, trading activity remained subdued, maintaining a weak and steady trend.
