According to the latest report from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, the national price of diesel B experienced a minor drop, reaching an average of 1.381 euros per liter. However, for farmers and ranchers in Huelva, this improvement is relative, as the current cost is 43.03% higher than the price paid before the start of the conflict in Iran last February.

At conventional gas stations in the province of Huelva, the average price for the agricultural sector is 1.510 euros per liter, slightly above the national average of 1.508 euros. This difference highlights the advantage of restricted-sale pumps managed by agricultural cooperatives, where prices are more competitive, with a national average of 1.349 euros per liter.

The historical evolution of prices underscores the magnitude of the increase. On February 23, a liter of agricultural diesel cost 0.965 euros, and by the end of March, it reached 1.436 euros. Currently, Huelva is positioned in the middle of the price table, far from the more economical values of cooperatives in Soria (1.187 euros per liter) and the maximums recorded in Guipúzcoa, which exceed 1.661 euros per liter.

The Huelva fishing sector is also closely monitoring these fluctuations. Diesel for fishing use recorded an average of 1.202 euros per liter this Monday, an improvement on the previous Friday's figures. Although the report does not detail the specific value for the Huelva fish market, the general outlook for the local fleet ranges between the minimums in Tarragona (1.022 euros per liter) and the highest costs borne by fishermen in Valencia, where fuel reaches 1.636 euros.
