The number of producers are limited and the demand is high and the supply is limited and that is why it is expensive because one part of the market is suffering, if there is a balance between demand and supply then the price will be moderate and much more affordable for people. If anything should affect the price of fuel then every other thing will be affected because of transportation and fuel price is even increasing everywhere so there is still a problem that needs attention. If not attended to then we are not ready to address this issue.
The problem of increasing transportation costs is very often the cause and this is very clearly influenced by the increase in fuel prices so that it also has an impact on increasing prices for all other goods that are often consumed by all people. This really needs to be given better attention by the government because I am sure that not all people are ready to face this unbalanced economic situation in the long term. Moreover, the core of the problem has also been well detected, namely the increase in fuel prices in each country.
government actually already knows this, this is why many government around the world always subsidizes the use of diesel fuel because most of transportation that these goods uses are using diesel engine, but sometime it still increase in term of price because you know there might be some special cases like when the corona virus spreads, despite the fact that the oil price isn't increasing, many people are hoarding foods, in which in turn increase the price quite high, but funnily enough once there are no hoarder, the price isn't decreasing, thats just taking advantage of the situation.
honestly such thing needs government intervention to not making the price of food and goods increase.
