If you are curious...
Urea (fertilizer) is mainly used in the agriculture market and changes in the agriculture market, including rising natural gas prices, availability, and global agricultural factors have impacted price over time. Urea price is highly dependent on natural gas pricing, so when natural gas increases, urea follows. Because of its primary agricultural use, Urea is traded as a global commodity, and therefore liable to fluctuate with global conditions.
