# China Bans Fertiliser Exports Until April ‘24 | CZ app

> China will prohibit fertiliser exports until at least April 2024, with export clearance not issued until after its domestic season ends. The aim is to stabilise or lower domestic prices. Urea prices were quoted around USD 300 to 330 per tonne CFR, and the article describes world urea, potash and ammonia markets as oversupplied.

## Why it matters
