Middle East urea producers have withdrawn offers as the conflict escalates. Granular urea was $490-495/t fob on 27 February before the attacks.
Vessel owners are reluctant to cross the Strait of Hormuz, which threatens deliveries from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the UAE, which together shipped 12.6mn t in 2024.

Setelah 205 peristiwa geopolitik bullish sebelumnya, Urea bergerak median +0,4% selama 5 sesi (53% lebih tinggi; separuh tengah -2,1% sampai +3,0%), dan -0,4% selama 20 sesi.
