High Diesel Costs Limit Freight Movement, Driving Chickpea Prices in Brisbane
What happened
Chickpea prices are currently high in the north, with bids reaching $1020/t delivered in Brisbane. High diesel costs are restricting road freight movement, which has prevented Mallee and Riverina barley from reaching southern Queensland feedlots. As a result, bids to local growers have increased.

Why it matters
The rising cost of diesel is impacting agricultural supply chains across Queensland. Growers are limiting the amount of new-crop grain supplied to the domestic market, which is driving up local prices for crops like chickpeas.
