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 NOLA
- Parcel basis
- Typical US Gulf river-barge parcel as transacted on the stated NOLA basis. CommodityScope does not fix a standard barge 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/st
- 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.
Unit Conversion Note
- USD/st values are not converted to USD/mt on this site; multiply by 1.1023 to approximate USD/mt.
Specification · stated in the assessment basis
- Granular urea (46% N); USD/st (short ton = 907.18 kg), from the series unit.
Basis: FOB NOLA
- 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.
- NOLA is New Orleans, Louisiana; a NOLA barge basis refers to product on river barges at the Mississippi mouth, priced in USD per short ton.
Unit: USD/st
- 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.
Product and market references
