> A briefing covering August to early September 2025 says India's urea tender drew a record 5.6 million tons of bids at prices near $462/t CFR, a drop of nearly $70/t. Iranian, Black Sea and Brazilian urea prices fell in anticipation, and Ethiopia and Bangladesh launched sizeable DAP, urea and potash tenders.
