The state-owned Chittagong Urea Fertilizer Limited in Anwara restarted urea production around 3am on 13 November 2026 after mechanical faults had kept it shut for about 27 days. The plant is now producing more than 1,000 tonnes of urea every 24 hours and reports it is receiving all the natural gas it needs.
A single mid-sized Bangladeshi plant returning to output adds a modest amount of urea supply to South Asia, slightly easing regional nitrogen tightness. The effect on global fertilizer prices is minor, and the plant's repeated stoppages mean the supply gain may not last.
After 64 past logistics events, Urea moved a median -0.3% over 5 sessions (48% higher; middle half -1.0% to +2.3%), and -0.3% over 20.
