What This FOB netback Price Represents
Weekly FOB Middle East netback for granular urea, published as the Middle East non-US netback series, in USD/mt. A netback is a calculated origin-equivalent (destination price less freight), not a loading-port transaction.
Compare With
Each comparison states why the series are related and whether the latest values can be subtracted directly (same unit, currency and assessment date). Where they cannot, the values are shown side by side without a difference.

CommodityScope Assessment Basis
This is the CommodityScope series definition for the published midpoint and assessment range. Characteristics that are not part of this basis are not inferred.
- Product
- Granular Urea
- Product quality
- Granular urea (46% N), as labelled by the series name. Other chemical or contractual properties are not implied.
- Location basis
- FOB netback
- Parcel basis
- Typical seaborne fertilizer cargo as transacted on the stated basis. CommodityScope does not fix a standard parcel tonnage.
- Delivery / loading period
- Not fixed in the published series basis.
- Assessment window
- CommodityScope daily assessment dated as of the published assessment date.
- Currency / unit
- USD/mt
- Normalization
- Inputs used for the midpoint and the assessment range are considered only after they can be expressed on this series basis and unit. Cross-unit values are not converted on the public site and are not mixed into this series.
Terms not specified
- The freight assumptions behind the netback are part of the CommodityScope model and are not itemised on this page.
Specification · stated in the assessment basis
- Granular urea (46% N), form from the series name. Non-US is part of the published series name; it is not a confirmed origin class.
Basis: FOB netback
- 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.
- A netback is a computed origin-equivalent value: a destination price less freight. It is a calculation, not an observed loading-port transaction.
- Middle East urea loads from plants in the Gulf states (e.g. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, UAE, Bahrain) and Iran; the basis is the loading port.
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 are not interchangeable; the gap may reflect freight, insurance, location basis, parcel size and timing, not freight alone.
How to use this series, and what it is not for
How to use this series
- Track export values by origin (FOB) and import values by destination (CFR); compare like with like (granular vs granular, FOB vs FOB).
What it is not suitable for
- Farm-gate or retail prices.
- Comparing a USD/st NOLA barge value with USD/mt seaborne values without conversion.
