Strong nitrogen fertilizer demand is butting up against tight supplies in some regions of the world, says an analyst. India is the world’s top importer of the product. Indian urea demand surged to 38.8 million tonnes in 2024-25, an eight per cent increase over the previous year, according to Argus Media.

Stat believes the area has been over-reported since 2021.
