What This Indicator Measures
Weekly FOB Middle East granular urea value per unit of nitrogen (10 kg N), in USD/unit N.
Nutrient Value (per unit N): The price of a nitrogen product divided by its nitrogen content, giving a cost per unit of nitrogen (1 unit = 1% of a tonne = 10 kg N). It lets urea, AN, UAN and ammonium sulphate be compared on nutrient content.
Specification · stated by the source for this series
- USD/unit N; weekly.
- Urea Nutrient N
- Derived from the product price and its N content; sulphur value in ammonium sulphate is not credited.
Basis: FOB netbacks
- FOB netback basis; USD per unit N (10 kg N). Derived from the granular urea price and its 46% N content.
- 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.
- Middle East urea loads from plants in the Gulf states (e.g. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, UAE, Bahrain) and Iran; the basis is the loading port.
Unit: USD/unit N
- USD or EUR per unit N (10 kg of nitrogen).
