# Urea sales fall 21% as sowing slows down

> Pakistani urea sales fell 21% month over month in January 2019 to about 564,000 tons, mainly due to seasonal slowing of sowing. Sales were up 5% year over year, and urea inventory dropped 59% to 71,000 tons. DAP stocks stood at 488,000 tons.

## Why it matters

Seasonal demand declines reduce near-term urea import needs in Pakistan, which is bearish for regional urea prices. The sharp drop in inventories partly offsets that pressure.
