Fuel deliveries in parts of southern Germany were disrupted on Monday as farmers blocked roads and highways to protest against a planned phaseout of agriculture subsidies.
Access to the Bayernoil oil-processing complex was affected, according to a notice to haulers seen by Bloomberg. The impact at the Neustadt plant was particularly severe, it showed. The complex is partly owned by Varo Energy BV.
