• Benchmarks as published by the World Bank (monthly averages). FertRadar does not publish price assessments or forecasts.
• Benchmarks differ in location and delivery terms; a customs unit value is an annual average of declared values, not a market price.
• Customs unit values average the contract prices of a whole year, so they lag spot benchmarks when markets move fast (2008-2009, 2021-2023).
