Frequently asked questions

Why did EU add provisional CVD on Egyptian urea in 2024?

EU investigation found subsidised natural-gas feedstock pricing to Egyptian urea producers. Provisional CVD 6.9-10.1% imposed pending final ruling. Combined with existing Russia AD, Middle East origin (Oman, Qatar, Saudi) becomes structurally advantaged for EU sales.
