Diesel costs may raise US food and transport prices
The article shows that the rise in diesel fuel prices in the United States, where the average price has exceeded $6 per gallon for the first time, threatens to increase transportation and production costs in an unprecedented way, affecting food prices and consumer goods. This increase is linked to disruptions in oil flows following the Iran war, as distillate inventories increased and energy prices surged significantly, leading to these costs being passed along through supply chains. It is expected that the average diesel prices will reach $5.55 in the last quarter of 2026 before declining in 2027, amid ongoing seasonal pressures and increased agricultural demand during the harvest season.
