Episode Details

South Australian farmers face soaring fuel costs, leading to increased prices for fresh produce in supermarkets. The conflict in the Middle East disrupts global fuel supplies, causing unleaded petrol to reach $2.50 per liter and diesel to surpass $3 in regional areas. Farmers producing grain, milk, grapes, citrus fruits, stone fruits, and meat struggle to absorb these expenses, with cost hikes in freight, fertilizers, and greenhouse operations. Rural fuel shortages also impact planting seasons, prompting calls for reliable supply guarantees. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has convened a National Food Council meeting to address these challenges.
