# Urea Prices Decline as US Tariffs Impact Phosphate, Potash | CZ app

> International urea prices declined as India had not yet announced a purchase tender, and spot sales were slow. Qatar Energy's tender drew bids of USD 415/t FOB, down USD 22/t, and Pupuk Indonesia sold at USD 399/t. Potash prices were reported to be firming on curbed production and strong demand.

## Why it matters

Urea prices are being pressured by the absence of Indian buying, which is the largest driver of global nitrogen demand. Buyers should expect lower nitrogen costs unless a large Indian tender lifts prices, while firmer potash could raise input costs later in the season.
