# Egyptian fertilizer companies prepay $175 million for gas at new price

> Egypt has agreed with seven fertilizer producers that each will prepay $25 million for gas supply at a temporary price of $12.75 per MMBtu, up from $8.50, for 45 days from November 16. Gas supply cuts of 20% to 40% remain in place, and the companies are allowed to export their full current output during the period.

## Why it matters

Reduced gas availability cuts Egyptian nitrogen output, while the export allowance lets plants sell into a market where urea is near $500 per tonne. This supports global urea prices, which feed into the cost of corn production.
