Rising fuel prices and tightening fertiliser supply linked to Middle East conflict are hitting grain growers as sowing gets underway across southern Australia.
Landline reported that with the Middle East region producing around 45 per cent of global urea exports, supply disruptions are adding pressure at a critical time.
Grain Producers Australia is calling on the Federal Government to step in, including prioritising tax incentives to boost on-farm fuel storage and support growers through the planting window.
