# Contradictory signals on the fertilizer market - Inside Mest | Boerenbusiness. Nl

> Fertilizer prices for this season have largely been delivered and spread, with KAS 27% steady near €10 per 27 kg and TSP 45% stable at €44.70 per 100 kg. Insiders expect little price change in the coming weeks but see uncertain longer-term direction as grain prices appear to have peaked and crude oil and natural gas have risen sharply.
