# Urea offtake surges 81pc YoY in June - Profit by Pakistan Today

> National Fertiliser Development Centre data showed Pakistani urea offtake rose 4.9% month on month and 81% year on year to 1.16 million tonnes in June 2020. First-half offtake declined 7% to 2.6 million tonnes, and urea inventory fell 63% to 414,000 tonnes. The June surge followed delayed purchases in May while farmers awaited a subsidy.

## Why it matters

Low urea inventory and a rebound in offtake point to firmer near-term nitrogen demand in Pakistan, but the cumulative decline and subsidy uncertainty limit price upside. Buyers should monitor LNG supply to plants for August to October.
