Indonesia approves 2026 urea export licences

The Indonesian government has signed off on export licences for 1.4 million t of urea for 2026, which has been intended to be dispersed among state-owned Pupuk subsidiaries.
Pupuk's subsidiaries became able to float urea sales tenders, with granular urea supplier Kaltim expected to come to the market first. But there was no comment from Pupuk or the parties involved.
The last Indonesian sales tender probably took place on 6 November, when Pusri closed an enquiry for 5000 t each of standard and low biuret prilled urea.
The lack of export licence issuance had limited availability in southeast Asia, with Malaysia's Petronas largely tied up with offtake agreements, leaving spot granular urea availability in January-February to Brunei's BFI.
Indonesia exported 1.52 million t of urea in January-November in 2025, and just under 1.5 million t of urea in all of 2024, according to the latest trade data.
