India Receives Lower Urea Offers Signaling Easing Global Fertilizer Costs
India received urea offers nearly 10% below its August purchase price in a recent tender, signaling easing global fertilizer costs. Indian Potash Ltd. reported offers ranging from about $352 to $465 per ton for east and west coast supplies, with volumes exceeding demand. Prices had surged earlier this year due to supply disruptions from the Iran conflict but have since declined amid easing constraints and weaker global demand. Lower prices may ease costs for farmers and reduce government subsidy pressure ahead of India's winter crop season.
