Dar es Salaam. The government has moved to stabilise fuel prices by assigning the state-run Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC) to import and distribute petroleum products between May and July, leveraging bulk procurement to secure more favourable prices.
Energy ministry Permanent Secretary Dr Jamea Mataragio said the intervention follows a market assessment that found the TPDC could source fuel at lower cost than suppliers engaged through the Petroleum Bulk Procurement Agency (PBPA).
