Agricultural diesel increased 40%

RTP Notícias8 September 2026 at 13:50

Green diesel for agricultural use recorded an increase of 40% in just six months. This significant rise was due to the geopolitical context, having started to be observed since the beginning of the war in Iran.

The wine sector is one of the most affected by this price escalation. Wine producers face increased costs on several fronts, from grape production to storage and processing at the winery.

In addition to agricultural fuel, producers also face increased electricity costs needed for winery operations. Energy is essential for the winemaking processes and facility maintenance.

The financial impact also extends to the price of bottles, corks, and wine transport, further aggravating the economic situation of producers during this period of market instability.
