Urea Price
The most widely used nitrogen fertilizer worldwide, applied to nearly every major crop. Production is gas-intensive (natural gas is both the feedstock and main energy source), so urea prices move closely with natural gas prices — European and Asian urea spiked hard in 2022 alongside the gas price shock. China, India, the US and Russia are the largest producers.
Latest World price (2025-12): -15% vs. the 5-year average, +14% vs. the 10-year average, +12% vs. a year ago.
Price Chart
"World" is the global benchmark price (World Bank Pink Sheet, monthly since 1960, where available). EU country options are Eurostat producer prices (annual); Canadian province options are Statistics Canada producer prices (monthly); US state options are USDA AMS daily cash grain bids (individual elevators/trade locations averaged per state per day), "United States" alone is USDA NASS's monthly national figure. "EU-27 (average)", "Canada (average)" and "US daily average" are simple, unweighted means across whichever member states/provinces/US states reported a price that period, computed by agri.markets — none of these sources publishes an official aggregate for this data, so these are not production-weighted figures. Currency conversion uses monthly ECB reference rates since 1999 (some currencies joined later) — for comparison, not precise historical FX accounting.
