Government prepares support for agricultural diesel to halt price increases

CNN Portugal7 September 2026 at 13:04

The government is preparing measures to support agricultural diesel to halt price increases in the sector. This intention arises in a context of general fuel increases that have affected various sectors of the economy.

Castro Almeida, a figure mentioned in the article, warns that the increase in fuel ends up having an impact on the prices of products available in supermarkets. This suggests a chain of effects that runs from agricultural production costs to the final consumer.

The executive thus aims to mitigate the effects of increased production costs in the agricultural sector, which would inevitably be reflected in consumer prices. This agricultural diesel support measure emerges in response to growing concerns about food product inflation.

Not Luxembourg, not Switzerland: this EU country attracts more and more Europeans and pays three times (or more) than Portugal

Denmark stands out in the European Union as an attractive destination for European workers, with an average annual salary of 71,565 euros in 2024, almost three times the 24,818 euros in Portugal, according to Eurostat data. The country has a 37-hour work week, five weeks of annual leave, and a public healthcare system with no direct payment, but has the highest cost of living in the EU (140% of the EU average) and high taxation that funds public services. Foreign workers represent about 12% to 13% of the Danish workforce, with demand in areas such as engineering, information technology, healthcare, construction, and green energy. English allows people to apply for international opportunities, but proficiency in Danish is required in many roles, with free municipal language learning programs available.

Jaguar Land Rover will cut four thousand jobs over the next two years

Jaguar Land Rover will eliminate four thousand jobs over the next two years through voluntary redundancies, responding to fierce competition from cheaper Chinese manufacturers, a cyberattack, and tariffs imposed by the United States under Donald Trump. The British company, controlled by Tata Motors, intends to cut costs by 1.9 billion euros and production to around 300,000 vehicles annually. Despite the cuts, JLR maintains plans to invest 20 billion euros over five years in electrification and digital technologies, while also launching five new products in the next 12 months. The manufacturer employs 30,000 people in the UK, out of a total of 40,000 employees globally.
