# Fertilizer market breaks with all seasonal patterns - Inside Mest | Boerenbusiness. Nl

> Fertilizer prices in the Netherlands are rising during the summer, which is unusual because prices normally fall after the season. The KAS 27 price has climbed to about €27.90 per 100 kg, driven largely by higher natural gas prices. Asian buyers are building LNG stocks, which competes with European storage.
