View PricingUrea and Fertilizer
Urea is a commonly used nitrogen fertilizer in the agricultural industry. It is a white crystalline substance that contains approximately 46% nitrogen, making it one of the highest nitrogen-content fertilizers available. Urea is produced commercially from ammonia and carbon dioxide.
As a fertilizer, urea provides plants with a readily available source of nitrogen, an essential nutrient for their growth and development. Nitrogen is an important component of proteins, enzymes, and other essential compounds within plants. It plays a crucial role in photosynthesis, cell division, and the synthesis of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins.
Urea is a versatile fertilizer that can be easily blended with other fertilizers and applied to a variety of crops, including cereals, vegetables, and fruits. It can be used for both foliar application and soil application. When applied to the soil, urea undergoes hydrolysis, a chemical reaction facilitated by soil enzymes, that converts urea into ammonium ions and bicarbonate ions. These ammonium ions can be taken up by plant roots and utilized for their growth.
One of the advantages of urea as a fertilizer is its high nitrogen content, which allows for efficient transportation and storage. Urea can be easily handled and distributed due to its low risk of nitrogen loss through volatilization. However, proper application techniques should be followed to minimize potential nitrogen losses, such as incorporating urea into the soil or applying it at specific times when plants can readily absorb the nitrogen.
In addition to its role as a fertilizer, urea has other applications in various industries. It is used in the production of resins, adhesives, and plastics. Urea is also an essential component of animal feed for ruminants, such as cattle and sheep, helping to enhance their protein metabolism.
Fertilizers, including urea, play a crucial role in modern agriculture by enhancing crop yield and promoting healthy plant growth. They help address nutrient deficiencies in soils and provide plants with essential nutrients for optimal development. However, it is important to use fertilizers judiciously and follow recommended application practices to minimize potential environmental impacts.

Fertilizer prices continue to ramp up due to a shortage in supply caused by lower output in EU countries. High natural gas costs shape that growth because gas accounts for up to 80% of variable costs in nitrogen fertilizer production. Urea prices spiked exceptionally high to $900 per ton in November 2021, gaining 30% against the previous month. Phosphate rock price rose by 4%, while diammonium phosphate and triple superphosphate were both up by 8%. Next year, fertilizer prices are projected to climb further due to a continued shortage in supply, but if costs for natural gas maintain their downward trend, they will hold the price increases back.

Urea price soared by +46% in October 2021, reaching $612.5 per ton, according to the latest World Bank's data. The spike was caused by a sharp slump in the world's production, as many producers have suspended manufacturing owing to skyrocketing natural gas prices and energy resource shortages. Russia, China and Egypt remain the key urea suppliers, while India, Brazil and the U.S. lead the world import ranking.
815
Brazil, Argentina, Australia and Spain increased urea supplies from abroad sharply in 2020. Despite this, global imports of this product slightly dropped last year. India, Brazil, the U.S. remain the largest markets for imported urea worldwide. In 2020, the average import price reduced by -9.8% against the previous year.
