# KAS price has bottomed out - Inside Manure | Boerenbusiness. Nl

> KAS nitrogen fertilizer prices in Europe have fallen sharply since February but appear to have bottomed, with about 10 tonnes costing no more than €225 excluding VAT. Distributors expect prices to rise again as drought-driven stocks dwindle, while urea prices have not fallen this spring. Uncertainty from the US-China trade dispute and the dry season is weighing on sentiment.
