Q8 Italy cuts fuel prices by 20% for farming, fishing sectors until end-2026 ROME, Nov 3 (Reuters) - Kuwait's Q8 said on Tuesday that its Italian unit would cut the pre-VAT price of diesel and gasoline by 20% for customers in the agriculture and fishing sectors until the end of December.
The move responds to government calls for measures to support key food supply chains, the group said in a statement
It aims to ease energy costs for farmers and fishing operators, to ensure continuity of food supplies and limiting the impact on households, it added
The measure follows Q8's decision to maintain a price cap on fuel sold to motorists through the end of the year
The group said it would define the details of the discount scheme taking into account market developments and supply conditions
Italy's ENI ENI.MI also introduced a 20% discount for farmers and fishers last month
