In this week’s fertilizer report: India’s IPL Gets Acceptances of Counteroffers Under Urea Purchase Tender; Tariff-Induced Volatility in the West has Coincided with Indian Import Demand and Last Week’s North American Urea and Phosphate Price Action.
News of the Week
India’s IPL Gets Acceptances of Counteroffers Under Urea Purchase Tender
According to World Fertilizer Market, IPL had counteroffers accepted totalling 203,000mt to the West Coast and 440,000mt to the East coast. This is well below the 1.5mmt total required for import. This should lead to another tender in the near future.

India’s IPL gets acceptances of counteroffers under urea purchase tender
Tariff-Induced Volatility in the West has Coincided with Indian Import Demand
Tariff-induced volatility in the west has coincided with Indian import demand, resulting in a significantly fragmented urea market. The spread between in-season US Gulf and Brazilian cfr values is now over $65pt.
The US Gulf now takes the premium-market crown in the west, although this is primarily of benefit to duty advantaged suppliers in Russia. Russian spot granular urea prices are unsurprisingly now closely correlated to US values, even if this is unlikely to last once season end approaches.
The nearby US market was set to be tight owing to anticipated strong demand and with urea imports to date only marginally above those of last year. Tariffs have, unsurprisingly, raised doubts over the extent of import arrivals from end-April.
