Agromer trades urea fertilizer (46% nitrogen) with major refineries on spot and contract terms, for importers, distributors and large agricultural buyers. We work with granular and prilled urea, in bulk or bagged, against a clear written procedure: end-buyer Letter of Intent, offer, sales and purchase agreement, bank-secured payment and independent inspection.
If you are importing urea for the first time, the most useful thing to know is that a good deal starts with a precise enquiry. The clearer your specification, quantity and destination, the faster and more accurate the offer.
What is urea fertilizer?
Urea, CO(NH2)2, is the world’s most widely used nitrogen fertilizer. It carries 46% nitrogen, the highest of any solid fertilizer, so it is the cheapest way to move and store nitrogen per tonne. In the soil it turns into ammonium and nitrate, which crops use for leaf and stem growth. Read more in what is urea used for and urea in agriculture.

What affects the urea price
Urea follows the world market, which is driven by natural gas costs, export policies, shipping and seasonal demand. The World Bank benchmark (granular urea, FOB Middle East) averaged $407.50 per tonne in September 2026, after averaging about $694 in April to June. Your price also depends on the grade, packaging, quantity and delivery terms. See the full urea price guide.
How to use urea fertilizer
For distributors and farmers, the basics are simple: apply urea during active growth, split the dose, and work it into the soil or apply before irrigation to limit nitrogen losses. Full guidance is in how to use urea as fertilizer.
