Imports by LPG marketing companies rose by 12.9%, from 107,083 tonnes in 2016/17 to 120,961 tonnes in 2017/18.

Moreover, imports jumped by 20% the next year to 145,800 tonnes before seeing a tremendous 30% surge to 190,248 tonnes in the 2019/20 fiscal year.

This consistent growth can be ascribed to the ongoing awareness campaigns that progressively urged individuals to transition from traditional cooking energy to LPG for clean cooking. 

Within this framework, Tanzania’s LPG market is expected to bring new investments in the oil and gas sector.

Attend East Africa LPG Expo – Tanzania 2023 will showcase the latest products and services.
