# Pakistan's overall urea sales grow 5pc to 2.87 million tons  - NewsnReleases

> Pakistan's urea sales rose 5 percent year-on-year to 2.87 million tons in the first half of 2019, as buyers pre-bought ahead of a July gas-price-driven increase. Rainfall also lifted summer crop demand, and urea production grew 13 percent.

## Why it matters

Pre-buying ahead of higher gas-linked urea prices pulls forward demand and may tighten local supply after the rush. Higher domestic urea prices from gas tariff increases support nitrogen fertiliser costs in Pakistan.
