# Fertilizer sales start late - Inside: Manure Market | Boerenbusiness. Nl

> Dutch fertilizer sales have started late because the slow spring delayed field work and the spreading of manure. Urea (30% N) was quoted at about €16 per 100 kg in mid-April, up from €15.50 a month earlier. Some traders expect lower prices while others say it is too early for declines.

## Why it matters

Late-season demand and firm urea quotes support near-term nitrogen prices in Europe, which can feed into forage and grain production costs. Price direction is mixed until the new season's demand becomes clearer.
