# Australia emerges as high point in Asia-Pacific urea

> Australia is drawing urea spot cargoes as importers prepare for a potential record sales year, while demand has largely disappeared elsewhere in Asia-Pacific. Spot cargoes from the Middle East, China and Southeast Asia have been booked for Australian ports, and Indian buying is awaited with a tender expected around end-April or early May.

## Why it matters

Strong Australian demand supports urea prices regionally and firms freight for nearby cargoes, while the absence of Indian buying keeps the broader Asian market soft until a tender appears.
