# PWNI hits lowest point of the year to date as nitrogen values continue to erode

> The Profercy World Nitrogen Index hit its lowest level of 2022 as nitrogen product values eroded further. Urea activity slowed after India's purchase tender concluded, and sellers in Southeast Asia and China offered product at lower levels. US late-season import demand failed to materialise because planting was delayed by poor weather.

## Why it matters

Weak urea and nitrogen pricing reflects soft buying interest after the Indian tender and a delayed US planting season. Lower fertilizer costs can ease input pressure for corn growers, but the price impact on feed grains is limited.
