Urea prices in Canada and North America are higher than expected for the summer, with Western Canada around $630 to $640 per tonne in mid-July and New Orleans near US$300 per short ton. Prices held up even though crop prices fell, with corn near $4.10 per bushel compared with about $5 a year earlier.
Elevated urea prices against weaker crop values squeeze farm margins and may cut fertilizer application, which can weigh on future yields and feed grain supply.
