# Urea Prices Lift as Other Markets Remain Muted | CZ app

> International urea prices lifted this week on demand from Australia and the US, with a Qatar Energy sale at USD 380/tonne FOB and a Vietnamese cargo reported at USD 405/tonne FOB.

## Why it matters

Spring import demand from the US and Australia supports urea prices, but expected Chinese export resumption could pressure them later. Thin buying from Brazil and Europe limits near-term upside.
