Came across a tweet giving the price of “New Orleans” Urea, I’m not particularly knowledgeable about fertilizer, but I’ve never heard of this.

One of the largest ports in the country. That takes all of the shipping variability out of the commodity price. Natural gas is the same way.

So, like Henry Hub gas?

I believe Nola urea is the price when it hits our ports

Time to kill DEF
Urea is used to make DEF and DEF is also a hidden tax on consumers so it's a double win if we kill DEF. Less demand for urea and lower trucking cost

That just means what it costs at the New Orleans port.

The spike in local fertilizer prices really is bullshite. The US imports a really small amount of these inputs outside of the western hemisphere. But we are paying for it here because of Europe and the Middle East' crap.

There is or was at one point a urea unit on the westbank.

Urea is a global commodity. Companies would ship it to Europe and ME if they were paying $1000/ton vs. selling locally for $200/ton.

"The CF Industries Donaldsonville Complex, located near New Orleans (NOLA), is the world's largest nitrogen facility, producing urea, ammonia, and UAN for transport. It uses the NuStar ammonia pipeline, rail, barge, and ocean vessels to distribute products. NOLA acts as a major hub for urea logistics, with prices often reflecting global supply shifts, such as Middle Eastern tensions."
