# Düngerpreise fallen im April – Weltmarkt zeigt steil nach unten | agrarheute.com

> Urea prices fell on world markets in late March 2024, with April-delivery cargoes from the Middle East at $322/t, about $40 below March offers.

## Why it matters

Seasonal demand in the Northern Hemisphere has largely passed and India's tender is adding downward pressure, so lower fertilizer costs for the spring season are likely to reach European and other importing markets in April.
