The conflict in the Middle East has triggered a sudden price hike, resulting in a 30% increase for diesel. According to the Ministry for the Ecological Transition, average prices have climbed to 1.84 euros for diesel and 1.73 euros for gasoline.
In Barcelona, the situation is particularly severe at locations like Plaça d'Eivissa, where diesel has reached 2.18 euros per liter. Other municipalities such as Castellbisbal and Sant Joan les Fonts have also seen prices break the two-euro barrier.

The agricultural sector is among the hardest hit. The Unió de Pagesos union has demanded urgent government intervention, while JARC warns that the rising cost of professional fuel threatens the survival of local farms.
