THE LP BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY IN ZIMBABWE

The growth of the LPG market in the Zimbabwe has previously been severely constrained by availability of supply, with limited North bound supplies from South Africa.

The Current supply capacity from south Africa is only possible when South African supply exceeds its local demand .The operationalizing Of Tank Up Africa Import Terminal means there are no longer such constraints, and demand increases can be catered for.

The current market growth of LPg of above 2.5% a month will see trade activity of over 150 million USD in the next 36 months. A volume which previously took ten years to achieve.

A saving of 104.4Mw on the national grid by 2016 has become a reality as LPg is the preferred energy for household and commercial heating. This trajectory suggests that LPg is a significant game changer especially when the possibility of power generation is entertained .

The elimination of kerosene in the local energy Mix by way of introduction of duty of kerosene has opened the floodgates of LPg demand.
