On
Thursday,
ZERA
announced
the
new
LPG

for
May
2026
at
US$1.95
per
kilogramme.

In
April,
ZERA
increased
the
price
to
US$1.85
per
kilogramme,
up
from
US$1.56

2026.

ZERA
said
the
new

were
set
in
line
with
the
Petroleum

Regulations,

of
2021.
Operators
can
still
sell

allow.

“Operators

advised
to
display
the

in
clearly
legible

Please
note
that
it
is
permissible
to
sell

one’s
trading
advantages,”
ZERA
said.
