India on Lock Down; Fertilizer Essential

India is now in lock down due to COVID-19, with the ports imposing a 14-day quarantine on shipping vessels arriving from countries affected by the virus. In addition, some ports have declared force majeure. On a more positive note, fertilizer is deemed an essential product and freight trains continue to operate though passenger service has been suspended.

The lock down’s impact on the current 1 million mt urea tender remains unclear, though a slowdown in shipments at the ports would be expected.
