# Egyptian granular urea at USD 535 as gas supplies to fertilizer plants cut 20%

> Egyptian granular urea is fetching about USD 535 per ton FOB for November contracts, up roughly 17% from about USD 457 in September, making Egypt the priciest origin among comparable regions. The rally coincides with Egypt rationing natural gas to fertilizer plants, with Kima reporting a 20% supply cut from 1 November while Mopco says it is adjusting output to available gas.

## Why it matters

Gas rationing constrains Egyptian urea output at a time of tight global nitrogen supply, supporting higher urea prices that raise feed-grain production costs and can pressure farmer margins for corn and other feed crops.
