South African wholesale diesel prices fall by about R1.10 to R1.20 per litre from November 4 as a temporary fuel levy reduction takes effect. The general levy cut is R3 per litre for diesel from November 4 to December 1, then R1.50 until January 5, 2027.
A rise in the slate levy and a weaker rand limit the size of the relief.
Lower local diesel costs ease haulage and grain logistics expenses for South African feed users, though the rand weakness and higher international product prices cap the benefit. The effect on global diesel prices is minimal.
