# Egypt Dominates 60% of Europe’s Urea Imports in 9 Months

> Egypt supplied about 60% of the European Union’s urea imports from outside the bloc in January–September 2026, exporting 1.58 million tonnes, down about 21% year over year. Its share rose from 44.3% in 2025 as Russian shipments fell sharply, while European buyers imported less after building stocks ahead of the carbon border adjustment mechanism’s implementation.

## Why it matters

Reduced Russian shipments increase Europe’s reliance on Egyptian urea, but lower overall import demand and accumulated stocks limit the effect on prices. The shift also makes European supply more dependent on Egyptian export flows.
