Global urea prices fell sharply in May as Brazilian importers shifted to cheaper ammonium sulfate, which Brazil now imports in larger volumes than urea. Urea futures fell to $542.50 per ton on May 21, down 22% from the monthly high.

Brazil's substitution toward amsul reduces urea demand and pulls prices lower, while China's possible return with large latent export capacity is the main upside-to-downside risk for nitrogen prices.
