Description
As the Middle East conflict widens, farmers across Australia are reporting blockages in fuel supplies.
It comes as the nation's major fuel wholesalers move to prioritise contracted businesses - rather than ad hoc sales - following a spike in demand over the past week.
Farming groups warn the nation is vulnerable to fuel and fertiliser shortages if the conflict continues.
