Urea prices have stayed elevated in China and Europe since early November 2025, supported by tightening inventories and winter stockpiling. Chinese national urea inventories fell to about 1.444 million tons amid active export activity, following China's suspension of fertilizer exports and India's latest urea tender.
Tight urea supplies and China's export suspension raise nitrogen input costs for grain and oilseed growers, which can support crop prices over time. The effect on feed commodities is indirect and mainly runs through farm input costs.
