# Urea Prices Dip After India Tender Delay | CZ app

> Urea prices dipped in several regions as India's anticipated purchasing tender remained unannounced, with the delay possibly linked to Diwali. Egyptian urea fell USD 12-17/tonne to USD 390-395/tonne FOB, and Brazilian buyers held back from larger purchases. DAP prices were also reported falling as India's Rabi season ends.

## Why it matters

Buyers are waiting on India's tender, which would likely set December shipment demand, so the uncertainty is pressuring urea and DAP prices lower in the near term. Until the tender is announced, weaker nutrient prices could ease input costs for feed-grain producers.
