Q8, 20% discount on fuel for agriculture and fishing until December

A 20% reduction on the price of diesel and petrol for agricultural and fishing operators, until 31 December 2026. This is the measure announced by Q8 Italia for its direct customers: the discount will be calculated on the price net of VAT. The application methods remain to be defined.

The decision comes "in consideration of the current national emergency situation and following the requests of the Italian Government", explains the company in a note. The intervention concerns the costs of fuel in two sectors located at the beginning of the food supply chain and aims, in the company's intentions, to support the continuity of supplies and contain the impact on consumers.

«In a particularly complex market phase, Q8 has chosen to offer concrete support to agriculture and fishing, intervening on the energy costs of two sectors at the origin of the food supply chain», we read in the note. Sectors that the group defines as "essential to guarantee the continuity of supplies and limit the impact on families".

The perimeter indicated is that of Q8 Italia's direct customers who operate in agriculture and fishing. For them the company provides a reduction on both fuels, petrol and diesel, expiring at the end of the year. The announcement does not yet detail the steps necessary to obtain the discount.

The new initiative joins the interventions aimed at motorists. In fact, Q8 recalls that it has already adopted a "price cap on petrol and diesel, confirmed until the end of the year". The price cap, therefore, also has a horizon of 31 December.

With the reduction intended for agriculture and fishing, the company declares that it wants to respond "concretely to the needs represented by the Government", supporting "critical supply chains for the country and consumers". The reservation contained in the note remains regarding the implementation of the intervention: Q8 Italia «reserves the right to define the application methods of the measure, taking into account the evolution of the market and the supply conditions».
