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.
China has been absent from urea exports through May 2026 under export controls, and its return could add significant downward pressure.
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.
