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.
A new Indian tender combined with Chinese export limits tightens near-term supply and lifts global urea import prices, raising nitrogen costs for feed and grain producers.
