Agricultural Federation wants 10-cent support for agricultural diesel for the Azores

Açoriano Oriental10 September 2026 at 16:16

The Agricultural Federation of the Azores (FAA) advocated that the extraordinary support of 10 cents per liter for agricultural diesel, extended by the Republic's Government to remain in effect until the end of 2026, should also be applied to Azorean farmers.

The FAA argues that Azorean farmers should benefit from the same support conditions as the remaining national producers, considering this measure essential for the competitiveness of the agricultural sector in the region.

The Republic's Executive recently extended this diesel agricultural price bonus, recognizing the importance of fuel for agricultural activity throughout the national territory.

The Federation thus intends to ensure that Azorean producers are not excluded from this support measure, at a time when production costs continue to pressure the primary sector in the region.

Old iPhone models see price hikes of up to R$ 2 thousand. Understand the reason

Old iPhone models had price adjustments of up to 14.8% at the Apple Store, with increases of up to R$ 2,000, even after the launch of a new generation. The 1 TB iPhone Air went from R$ 13,499 to R$ 15,499, while other versions of the model increased by R$ 500. The reason is the shortage of memory and storage chips caused by high demand from artificial intelligence data centers, which raised global price indices for smartphones, tablets, and notebooks. This year, Apple did not launch a new Air generation, postponing the update to early 2027.
