What This Indicator Measures
Weekly FOB Egypt assessment of granular urea for the European market, in USD/mt.
Urea (granular and prilled): A physical price for urea, the most widely traded solid nitrogen fertilizer (46% N). Granular and prilled are different physical forms and separate markets; daily and weekly assessments of the same origin are related but separate series.
Specification · stated by the source for this series
- Granular urea (46% N), form from the series name.
- Urea contains 46% nitrogen by mass.
- Granular product has a larger particle size than prilled; the two are priced separately.
Basis: FOB Egypt
- FOB (free on board): the price covers the product loaded on the vessel at the named origin; sea freight and insurance to the destination are excluded, so FOB values from different loading areas are not delivered-cost equivalents.
- Egypt is a Mediterranean/Red Sea urea exporter; FOB Egypt cargoes are commonly shipped to European buyers.
Unit: USD/mt
- Most series are USD per metric tonne of product, not per tonne of nitrogen. NOLA barge series are USD per short ton (907.18 kg); Rouen and German inland series are EUR/mt.
- FOB origin and CFR destination values differ by freight and insurance and are not interchangeable.
