August 2026 Phosphoric Acid Prices: China FOB vs US CIF

An August 2026 price snapshot puts phosphoric acid at USD 1,278.99 per metric ton FOB in China and USD 1,434.61 per metric ton CIF in the USA—a difference of USD 155.62. These figures use different shipping terms, so they are not directly comparable as landed prices. FOB covers the product up to loading at the origin port. CIF includes cost, insurance and freight to the destination. Freight and insurance may explain part of the gap, while regional supply and demand may also contribute. The figures provided do not show how much each factor accounts for. Buyers comparing the prices should add estimated freight and insurance to the China FOB quote, then check that both quotes use the same terms. The figures are a reference for August 2026, not a guarantee of later prices.
