Global Urea Prices Ease as India Sees Marginal Fertiliser Sales Dip and Export Rise
Global urea prices declined in June 2026, easing pressure on India's fertiliser subsidy bill amid the peak kharif sowing season, though prices remain significantly higher than the previous year. Despite a sharp monsoon deficit, sales of major fertilisers like urea and DAP dipped only marginally. India continues to rely heavily on imports, securing supplies through global tenders and long-term agreements. Meanwhile, fertiliser exports rose 52% from FY24 to FY26, though volumes remain small compared to imports.
