This report entails the detailed cost evaluation of methyl urea production by chemical reaction between methyl amine and urea. The production process is initialized by the chemical reaction between the two compounds, i.e., monomethyl amine and urea. Initially, urea melt is obtained by the reaction between ammonia and carbon dioxide, resulting in the formation of solid urea, which is further heated to obtain the urea melt. In this reaction, monomethyl amine is passed through urea melt in a reactor, which leads to the formation of methyl urea as the end product.

Feedstocks for Methyl Urea
Methyl Urea is an agrochemical compound that is prepared by using urea and methyl amine as its major feedstock. The procurement of methyl urea and its feedstocks is impacted by several factors. Some of the vital factors, including the availability of its raw material (including carbon dioxide, ammonia, methanol, etc.), stability in the supply chain, market prices, cost of production, and others, influence its procurement to a great extent. Additionally, factors, including its demand in the downstream agrochemical chemical and agricultural industries, along with its logistics, trade, and transportation activities altogether, play a major role in determining its overall procurement in the global chemical market.
