Diesel prices are almost 30% higher than this time last year.

While there is no marked rise in fuel prices since last week, they are holding at a price much higher than this time last month. Prices listed in the table are quotes based on delivery of 1,000 litres of green diesel, while white diesel quotes are at the pump.

The Irish Farmers Journal survey also contacted an agricultural contractor in Cork who ordered 2,000l of green diesel in recent days and was quoted a lower 62c/l including VAT.

Diesel prices continue to rise
