Middle East conflict and Mallorca's checkouts: Is a price shock looming?

Answer

Why do fuel prices matter so much for food prices on Mallorca?

When diesel and logistics become more expensive, those costs can be passed on to shops and consumers in Mallorca. Local producers are also under pressure because they often need fuel, fertiliser and transport for everyday operations.
