By Aaron Humes: The Supplies Control Unit has announced an increase in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) prices by 17 cents per gallon and $4 per hundred-pound cylinder.
The new prices, which take effect on Monday, are $4.30 wholesale, $5.90 per gallon retail in urban areas, and $6 per gallon in rural areas. Retail prices rise to $1.35 per pound in urban areas, and to $1.37 per pound in rural areas.
This means that a hundred-pound cylinder of LPG will cost you $135 in the towns and cities and $137 elsewhere.
An increase in acquisition costs for propane and butane drove the change.
The public is advised that the prices established for imported LPG are based on a mixture of 70:30 (Propane-Butane) only, as per the requirements of the Belize National Standard Specification for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), BZS 21:2012.
