We don’t usually post about this sort of thing. But right now, with fuel where it is and the flow-on hitting every corner of the supply chain… it feels worth saying out loud… or writing it down.

When costs go up, fuel, fertiliser, freight, steel, poly pipe, every business along the chain does what they need to do. They adjust their prices. They pass it on, that’s how it works.

Except when you get to the end of the chain. And in agriculture, the producer is always at the end of the chain.

We don’t set the price for what we sell. There’s no one to pass it on to. So we absorb our own cost increases and then we absorb everyone else’s too. Every adjustment, every surcharge, every revised quote from every supplier and service provider between here and the port, it all lands in the same place.

It’s not that anyone’s doing the wrong thing. But when every link in the chain protects itself and the last link can’t, the whole load ends up in one spot.

So what would sharing it look like? Maybe it’s suppliers absorbing part of the increase rather than passing on all of it.

Maybe it’s customers and processors recognising what it actually costs to produce right now. Maybe it’s just a broader understanding that when diesel is north of $3 a litre, the people growing the food are feeling it more than most and from more directions than one.
