Pakistani urea sales rose 81% year on year in June 2020 as dealers rebuilt inventory ahead of expected price increases. Cumulative urea sales for the first half of 2020 fell 7% after a locust attack and weak maize performance.
Urea prices were 8% lower in June, and DAP sales rose 12%.
The June jump reflects one-off restocking and pre-buying rather than a durable demand shift, so underlying urea demand remains soft. Lower domestic prices limit the price signal for nitrogen inputs.
