LONDON - Wholesale solar traders in the UK have begun restricting sales to farmers, according to a Telegraph report citing an industry association, Tuesday, March 24.
Fuel retailers are reducing the volume of orders to meet as many requests as possible, from the previous 10,000 liters per farmer to about 2,000 liters, said Fuel Procurement Manager, Anglia Farmers Patrick Crehan, reported by Sputnik, Tuesday, March 24.
According to Crehan, the restrictions have so far impacted Scotland and the Essex region east of London.
Farmers in Scotland said retailers were only selling up to 500 litres of petrol per customer.
The National Farmers' Union said it was monitoring the situation, but there were no reports of widespread problems related to solar or fertilizer supplies.
According to RAC, one of the country's largest automotive service companies, the price of solar in the UK has risen 17 percent since the beginning of the Iran-related escalation, while the price of gasoline has increased by 9 percent.
Agricultural machinery in Britain uses red diesel, which is subject to a lower tax rate.
