With decades of experience in fuel distribution, Vince shares a raw and unfiltered perspective on how global conflict in the Middle East has triggered sudden price spikes and supply disruptions unlike anything he’s seen before — even compared to COVID or past wars. But beyond the headlines, this episode dives deeper into the harsh reality on the ground: limited supply to agricultural distributors, skyrocketing input costs, and the growing pressure on farmers trying to keep their operations running.

From tractors burning hundreds of litres a day to transport operators facing unsustainable freight costs, the flow-on effects are hitting every link in the supply chain — ultimately impacting the price and availability of food on supermarket shelves.

Vince also sheds light on the challenges faced by independent fuel suppliers, the misconceptions around pricing, and the tough decisions being made daily to support local farmers. It’s an honest conversation about resilience, frustration, and the critical role regional Australia plays in keeping the country fed.

If you want to understand what’s really happening behind the scenes — and why it matters — this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
