燃油价格下降对农场主意味着成本降低

     NEW ZEALAND - The continuing fall in fuel prices should be reflected in lower farm input costs Federated Farmers believes. Petrol and diesel pump prices have declined by more than 40 cents per liter since October. Federated Famers spokesperson, Ian Mackenzie says he expects the persistent decline in the cost of fuel to be reflected in farm expenses.

　“The direct expenses of running machinery are accounted for with a lower fuel bill for the farmer. But there are other high fuel use industries, in particular transport, where we would expect to see some reduction in the costs from now on,” he says.“We have spent years seeing the rates we have to pay for transport of stock and equipment go up, because of escalating fuel bills. Now petrol and diesel are going down, then the cost of these services should also go down.”Ian Mackenzie says fuel prices are so influential that prices and charges of farm costs generally should be expected to fall.

　　新西兰——燃料价格的持续下跌应该反映在较低的农场投入成本。10月以来汽油和柴油泵价格已下降了每升超过40美分。新西兰农场主协会(Federated Famers)发言人伊恩·麦肯齐(Ian Mackenzie)说，他预计燃料成本持续下滑会反映在农场费用上。    

　　“对农场主来说，机械运行的直接费用中燃料费用所占比例降低。但还有其他燃料使用率高的行业，特别是运输业，我们希望从现在开始能看到一些成本降低,”他说。“我们数年来看到的是我们必须支付的运输和设备上的股票的利率上涨，因为燃料价格不断升级。现在汽油和柴油价格下降，那么这些服务的花费也应该降下去。”伊恩·麦肯齐说燃油价格非常有影响力，农场的成本和费用通常有望下降。
