In particular, the association reported with great concern the deepening crisis regarding diesel fuel, which is essential for agricultural work. As noted in a statement by “Farmers' Power,” an increasing number of farmers from various regions are reporting that, in addition to a sharp rise in diesel fuel prices, they are facing an increasingly acute fuel shortage. Information has been received that some oil companies with which farmers work have been out of diesel fuel for 5–7 days already and cannot say for certain when it will become available. This crisis is hitting agricultural producers harder and harder as they harvest their crops and prepare the land for summer and fall planting. The threat to the start of the agricultural season could further exacerbate the situation in agriculture. In this context, “Farmers’ Power” is demanding urgent explanations and intervention from a number of competent authorities, such as the National Agency for Energy Regulation (ANRE), the government, and the Competition Council. // July 27, 2026 – InfoMarket.
