Granular urea out of the Arab Gulf has softened to USD 334.5/t FOB as July loading positions clear and buyers stay hand-to-mouth. The Middle East is now the cheapest origin globally by a wide margin, dragging the seaborne complex lower.
SE Asia CFR is holding at USD 460/t — a USD 125/t premium to Middle East FOB — as Australian, Thai and Philippine buyers chase prompt tonnes for the winter cropping window. The arb keeps pulling Arab Gulf cargoes east.
Chinese granular is nominally quoted at USD 420/t FOB but the customs export inspection regime remains in force through Q3. Spot tonnes to seaborne trade stay minimal, keeping China effectively out of the price-setting conversation.
Brazil's safrinha demand has kept CFR values firm, with large granular at USD 407.5/t and small granular USD 10/t back. The premium into Brazil continues to divert Yuzhne (USD 367.5/t FOB) and North African tonnes away from Asia-Pacific.
Despite the international spread — Middle East FOB soft, SE Asia CFR firm — our delivered East-Coast price stays locked at AUD 1,290/t inc GST. Growers moving on winter urea now are locking in ahead of any Q3 freight or FX moves.
Reviewed by Board Advisor Josh FidrmucA live snapshot of policy and production constraints across the world's major urea origins.
Granular urea and UAN remain under customs inspection. FOB is nominally USD 420/t but spot tonnes to seaborne trade are effectively zero — no relief expected before October.
Iran FOB is the cheapest quoted origin at USD 360/t, but payment, insurance and vessel restrictions keep tonnes locked into a narrow set of buyers. Not a reliable supply channel for Australia.
Egyptian producers are running reduced rates through the July–August power peak. FOB has firmed to USD 422.5/t as availability tightens; further outages likely if the heatwave extends.
Yuzhne small granular is quoted at USD 367.5/t FOB. Tonnage continues to clear into Brazil and Türkiye under the H2 quota; minimal direct flow to Australia.
Qatar, Saudi and UAE producers are all offering freely. FOB has slipped to USD 334.5/t on July length. This is the price-setter for Australian landed cost right now.
Domestic Market Obligation continues in Indonesia; Malaysian tonnes flowing normally into SE Asia CFR (USD 460/t). Export availability stable but subject to government allocation.
