# Egypt's gas shortfall prices its urea $75 above the Gulf

> On 10 November granular urea traded at $510 per tonne FOB Egypt and $435 FOB Middle East, a $75 premium for Egyptian cargoes. Egypt cut gas supplies to fertiliser plants by 20%, then by 33% on 8 November, while Gulf cargoes still carry a Hormuz war premium.

## Why it matters

Gas curtailments are constraining nitrogen output on the Mediterranean coast, so North African urea is priced by domestic LNG budgets rather than shipping risk. This keeps urea prices firm in the region and tightens supply for importers.
