The much-anticipated urea tender from India was announced by MMTC. The tender will close Jan. 16 with the last cargo to be shipped by Feb. 28.
International traders are expecting to see softer prices in this tender compared to the $333-$335/mt CFR awarded in the Nov. 2018 tender. Estimates of the tonnage MMTC will take range from 700,000 mt to 1 million tons. Sources said the final take will depend on the final price.
