    The Fuel Story - from global crisis to Irish farms

    15/04/2026 | 20 mins.
    In this special podcast from The Irish Farmers Journal, Aidan Brennan is joined by Agri Business Editor Lorcan Roche Kelly for an in-depth look at one of the biggest pressures facing farming today—the global fuel crisis.
    As energy prices surge, we unpack what’s really driving the spike, from geopolitical tensions to market dynamics, and what it all means on the ground for Irish farmers and contractors. From diesel costs to the ripple effects on fertiliser, feed, and transport, this episode connects the global picture to the reality on Irish farms.
    Lorcan brings his expertise to break down the latest government supports, explaining new measures aimed at easing the burden of rising diesel prices, and outlining exactly how taxes like excise, carbon tax, and VAT are impacting agricultural fuel costs.
    We also examine the role of conflict in the Middle East in pushing energy markets higher—and crucially, whether any resolution could lead to meaningful price relief in the months ahead.
    If you’re trying to make sense of rising costs and what they mean for your business now and into the future, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
