Fuel costs increase for US grain trains
Transportation fuel fees for grain shipments by rail in the United States have increased with the start of the corn and soybean harvest season, due to rising oil and diesel prices caused by the conflict in the Middle East. Fuel costs now account for about 11% of the total transportation expense, up from 5% last year, with an average rate increase of 153% per mile per car. This surge is placing greater burdens on storage companies and farmers, while also putting pressure on the final prices of agricultural products.
