We investigate the $\ensuremath{\phi}$ meson nuclear transparency using some recent theoretical developments on the $\ensuremath{\phi}$ in medium self-energy. The inclusion of direct resonant $\ensuremath{\phi}N$ scattering and the kaon decay mechanisms leads to a $\ensuremath{\phi}$ width much larger than in most previous theoretical approaches. The model has been confronted with photoproduction data from CLAS and LEPS and the recent proton induced $\ensuremath{\phi}$ production from COSY finding an overall good agreement. The results support the need of a quite large direct $\ensuremath{\phi}N$-scattering contribution to the self-energy.
