# Gas Shortage Pushes Egyptian Urea Prices to $535 per Ton

> Egyptian granular urea export prices rose to $535 per ton FOB in November 2026, about 17% above September’s $457. Reduced natural-gas supplies to nitrogen fertilizer producers are contributing to the increase; Kima reported a 20% gas-supply cut from November 1, while producers are adjusting output to available gas.

## Why it matters

Gas constraints can limit fertilizer plant operating rates and reduce Egypt’s exportable urea supply, supporting prices. A prolonged disruption could tighten international availability further.
