It was noted that the spring fertilizer application season in major domestic agricultural regions concluded in May, and the market has now entered its traditional off-season. The relaxation of export restrictions at this time is not expected to threaten domestic food security but will effectively alleviate pricing pressures on companies due to inventory accumulation. Urea exports are anticipated to commence in May 2026. The current domestic urea price stands at RMB 1,850 per ton, with a price differential of over RMB 3,000 per ton compared to international markets.
