India's Urea Import Offers Drop 12% as War-Driven Supply Tightness Eases
India, a major urea importer, received offers for the fertilizer about 12% below June's purchase price, indicating easing supply tightness caused by the ongoing war. State-run Rashtriya Chemicals Fertilizers Ltd. received bids exceeding tender requirements for both west and east coast imports, with prices ranging between approximately $390 and $435 per ton. Prices had peaked near $959 per ton in April due to disrupted supplies through the Strait of Hormuz, a key trade route affected by stalled US-Iran peace talks.
