Increase in agricultural diesel makes corn production more expensive

SIC Notícias10 September 2026 at 14:08

The increase in the price of agricultural diesel is significantly making corn production more expensive. This fuel is essential for the machines and equipment used in agricultural work, so its rise has a direct impact on production costs. Despite the land continuing to produce, farmers face increasing financial difficulties due to rising operational costs. The situation reflects the economic pressures facing the agricultural sector, with producers seeing their profits diminished by the worsening costs of fuel.
