On this edition of Urea Never Sleeps, senior analysts Elfi Middelbeek and Karl Stenerson discuss the state of urea markets in springtime in the US and around the globe. Short and medium term impacts of Covid on the urea market. Update on US spring planting season. Impact of low oil prices and low corn prices on urea markets. Outlook for next India urea import tender. Outlook for 2020 Chinese urea exports. Update on the large scale new urea Dangote urea plant slated to come onstream this year in Nigeria.

Key takeaways include Covid-19 not directly impacting the urea market in the short-term as much as other commodity and energy markets. Outlook for urea is bearish but low feedstock prices expected to offset some revenue loss for global urea producers.
