Global Urea Prices Fall While India Sees Marginal Fertiliser Sales Dip in June
Global urea prices declined in June 2026 due to improved supply and eased export restrictions from China, providing relief to India's fertiliser subsidy costs ahead of the kharif sowing season. Despite this, prices remain significantly higher than the previous year, maintaining pressure on costs. Fertiliser sales, including urea and DAP, showed only marginal declines in June despite a substantial monsoon deficit and reduced kharif crop area, reflecting farmers' cautious optimism and adequate stock levels.
