> StoneX's fertilizer analyst says global urea supply has been constrained through 2024, with Chinese exports largely absent and European output reduced to about 75% of normal after Russian gas flow stoppages. He argues that prices have so far risen calmly but that global demand is about to take notice as northern hemisphere spring application approaches.
