Up to 7,500 lei<\/strong> \u2014 that is how much more a farmer now pays for a single 25-tonne truck of wheat to the port of Giurgiulesti compared with the start of the season.<\/p>\n

The estimate comes from economist Iurie Rija. At the start of the season, moving one tonne of wheat from Drochia to Giurgiulesti cost 500\u2013600 lei; it is now around 800 lei and still rising. Diesel is the main driver: the average import price has climbed to 29.62 lei\/kg, 42% higher than a year ago, and on 25 September the maximum pump price was 36.82 lei per litre. By 9 September importers had already paid 14.17 billion lei for diesel \u2014 more than 93% of the total for the whole of 2025.<\/p>\n

Diesel hits twice. In the field, at 70\u201390 litres per hectare, the price rise adds 840\u20131,170 lei per hectare. Then comes haulage, where rates are also pushed up by a shortage of trucks, queues at unloading and empty return trips.<\/p>\n
