April 2024 reveals the Black Sea Urea Price at US $320 per ton, signaling a noteworthy 3% decrease from March 2024’s US $330 per ton. While this decline may indicate shifts in market dynamics or alterations in production and distribution factors, it’s worth noting the modest 2.1% increase compared to April 2023’s US $313.4 per ton.
The fluctuation in Urea prices from March to April 2024 underscores the dynamic nature of the fertilizer market.
