What This Indicator Measures
Weekly FOB Northwest Europe assessment of standard-grade ammonium sulphate in USD/mt.
Ammonium Sulphate: A physical price for ammonium sulphate, a nitrogen-and-sulphur fertilizer (about 21% N and 24% S). Standard, granular and compacted grades are separate markets.
Specification · stated by the source for this series
- Standard grade, from the series name.
- Approximately 21% nitrogen and 24% sulphur by mass.
- Grade (standard/compacted/granular) is part of the series definition.
Basis: FOB NWE
- 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.
- Northwest Europe (NWE) covers the Channel and North Sea coast from Le Havre to Hamburg; cargo values here are seagoing parcels, not barges.
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.

- Treating grades as interchangeable.
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.
| Series | Why compare | Latest | Difference (this − other) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ammonium Sulphate Granular — NWE FOB NWE · USD/mt · weekly | Different grade or specification in the same market: granular vs standard, same basis. | 392.50 3 Sep 2026 | -84.50 |
