Agricultural diesel increased more than 40% in six months

RTP Notícias7 September 2026 at 21:00

Agricultural diesel recorded an increase of more than 40% over a six-month period, according to data mentioned in the article. This sharp rise has directly affected two essential sectors of the Portuguese economy.

The fishing and agriculture sectors are the most penalized by this situation. Both are already facing a significantly higher fuel bill due to the price increase.

In the specific case of fishing, each boat that unloads at the Matosinhos fish auction currently spends an additional 2000 euros per month to carry out its activity. This amount represents a substantial additional burden for the fishermen in the region.

The article does not provide information on the causes of this price increase or on possible government measures to support the affected sectors.
