# Urea sales surge 81% in June

> 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%.

## Why it matters

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.
