Italy's Eni extends fuel discounts to agriculture and fishing sectors
ROME, Oct 2 (Reuters) - Italian energy group Eni ENI.MI said on Friday it would extend fuel price discounts to the agricultural and fishing sectors, following the price cap it has offered to retail consumers.
Enilive customers will be able, from today, to purchase agricultural and fishing diesel and gasoline at a discounted price of 20% net of VAT, the company said
The discount will apply until October 31 and may be extended until the end of the year, depending on market conditions and product availability
Eni announced a pump price cap last week, set at €2.19 for diesel and €1.99 for petrol, triggering similar moves by other groups such as Q8, SOCAR's IP and Tamoil.
Italy's annual inflation rate jumped to 4.1% in September from 3.2% in August, with the spike driven by surging energy costs.
