In this episode, we explore the ongoing fuel shortages affecting rural communities in New South Wales. While city areas report steady supplies, regional farmers are struggling to access the diesel needed for essential operations like harvesting rice, picking cotton, and maintaining livestock.

Joining us is Xavier Martin, President of the New South Wales Farmers Association, who shares insights from a recent government roundtable with the Premier and federal ministers. He highlights the dysfunction in the fuel supply chain, the impact on food and fibre production, and what measures the state and federal governments are taking to address the crisis.

Farmers unable to access fuel for essential work are encouraged to contact the critical response task force established by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry. Details are available via the NSW Farmers Association or NFF websites.

Stay informed about how fuel supply issues are affecting food production and rural livelihoods in Australia.
