What This Indicator Measures
Daily FOB Nigeria assessment of granular urea in USD/mt, loading from Nigerian Atlantic ports (West Africa).
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.
What the source does not state for this series
- Only a short daily history is loaded for this 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 Nigeria
- 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.
- Nigeria is a West African urea exporter; FOB Nigeria loads from Atlantic ports.
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.

Computed Summary
Statements below are calculated by CommodityScope from the loaded history only. Each one names its period and method; none explains why a value moved.
The latest assessment of $457.50/mt on 3 Sep 2026 is up $30.00 (+7.0%) from the previous daily assessment (20 Aug 2026).
Method: Computed by CommodityScope as the difference between the two most recent loaded daily observations (14 calendar days apart).
The source edition itself printed a day change of +12.50, which is kept separately from the computed figure above.
Method: Published change copied from the edition; it may reference an assessment date that is not loaded here.
Over the loaded history (4 Jun 2026 – 3 Sep 2026), the highest assessment was $550.00/mt on 4 Jun 2026 and the lowest was $375.00/mt on 25 Jun 2026.
Method: Minimum and maximum of the published midpoint over the loaded history (4 Jun 2026 – 3 Sep 2026, 10 observations). This is not an all-time record.
- No completed calendar month with at least 8 daily observations is loaded, so the latest value is not compared with a monthly average.
Price Changes and Historical Range
Published changes are copied from the source edition. Computed changes are CommodityScope calculations between loaded daily observations; the two are shown separately and may differ when an intermediate edition is not loaded.
