| Driver | Impact |
|---|---|
| Natural gas feedstock | UAN is produced from ammonia and urea; natural gas is 70–80% of production cost. |
| Urea and ammonia spot prices | UAN pricing tracks ammonia and urea proportionally — watch both benchmarks. |
| Transportation and logistics | UAN is liquid; tank truck and rail add cost versus dry products, especially in remote regions. |
| In-season demand spikes | Side-dress demand creates short-term price spikes during May–June planting windows. |
