# Fertilizer Market Report – September 6, 2023 - Genesis Fertilizers

> Urea prices rose sharply at New Orleans and in Brazil after India issued an unexpected tender on September 4. NOLA urea firmed to $423-450/st FOB from $335-360 the previous week, and Brazilian imports rose to $450/mt CFR from $370-375. The tender followed a notice from Chinese authorities that they would limit urea exports.
