Basis and location: CFR, Santos

Timing: Delivered 35-50 days forward

Unit of assessment: $/mt

Timestamp: 16:30 Sao Paulo close, published according to the Sao Paulo publishing calendar.

The proposed assessment would be published on Energy Core, Platts Fertecon Nitrogen Market Report and the fixed page FEA0363.
