Tanzania Fuel Prices Surge Over 30% Due to Middle East Conflict
In April 2026, Tanzanian fuel prices soared over 30 per cent in one month due to the Middle East conflict, despite government assurances of adequate reserves.
wanunuaji wa mafuta kwa bei ra rejareja yanayopitia Bandari ya Dar es Salaam watalazimika kuongeza Sh956 katika kila lita moja ya mafuta baada ya bei kufikia Sh3,820 kutoka Sh2864. Kwa upande wa dizeli, lita moja sasa watanunua kwa Sh3,806 kutoka Sh2,858 ikiwa ni ongezeko la Sh948. Kwa upande wa mafuta ya taa, sasa yatanunuliwa kwa Sh3,684 kutoka Sh2,932 iliyokuwa ikitumika Machi mwaka huu ikiwa ni ongezeko la Sh752.
Ongezeko la bei ya mafuta halipo Tanzania pekee, bali hata katika soko la dunia ambapo bei kikomo kwa Aprili 2026, zimeongezeka kwa asilimia 69.98 kwa mafuta ya petroli, asilimia 114.46 kwa mafuta ya dizeli na asilimia 120.81 kwa mafuta ya taa.
wanunuaji wa mafuta kwa bei ra rejareja yanayopitia Bandari ya Dar es Salaam watalazimika kuongeza Sh956 katika kila lita moja ya mafuta baada ya bei kufikia Sh3,820 kutoka Sh2864.
Kwa mujibu wa Ewura, ongezeko hilo la bei za mafuta ni janga la kidunia na Tanzania kama sehemu hiyo inachukua hatua mbalimbali kuhakikisha usalama wa upatikanaji wa mafuta nchini na katika bei himilivu ili kupunguza madhara ya kiuchumi na kijamii.
The Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) has introduced a new billing number system for the loading and offloading of fuel at storage depots, aimed at enhancing transparency, boosting government revenue collection and ensuring compliance without disrupting supply.
Kufungwa kwa mlango huu muhimu wa bahari kunasababisha athari kubwa kimataifa, hasa kiuchumi na kiusalama: 1️⃣ Kupanda kwa bei ya mafuta duniani
Kufungwa kwake kunasababisha uhaba wa mafuta sokoni. Bei ya mafuta na gesi inapanda haraka, na kuathiri gharama za usafiri, umeme na bidhaa nyingine.
Kufungwa kunaweza kusababisha mvutano au mapambano kati ya mataifa yenye maslahi ya kiuchumi na kiusalama katika eneo hilo.
Nchi kama Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar na Iraq zinapoteza njia yao kuu ya kuuza mafuta.
Tumeona bei zimeshaanza kupanda, tutakaa ndani ya Serikali kuhakikisha tunakabiliana nalo vipi suala hili ili wananchi waendelee kupata mafuta kwa bei nzuri na kudhibiti kupanda kwa gharama za maisha.
Dk Mwigulu amesema: “Tumeona bei zimeshaanza kupanda, tutakaa ndani ya Serikali kuhakikisha tunakabiliana nalo vipi suala hili ili wananchi waendelee kupata mafuta kwa bei nzuri na kudhibiti kupanda kwa gharama za maisha.”
Serikali inaendelea kutekeleza mradi wa ujenzi wa ghala la kupokea na kuhifadhi mafuta lenye uwezo wa kupokea tani 308,110 katika Bandari ya Dar es Salaam ambao umefikia asilimia 30.
The authority attributed the rise to the ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, particularly involving the United States, Israel and Iran, which began on February 28, 2026, and have significantly disrupted global oil supply.
Wakati huohuo, athari za vita hivyo zimeanza kuhisiwa na wananchi wa Marekani, ambapo bei ya mafuta imeendelea kupanda na kufikia zaidi ya dola 4 kwa galoni, kiwango cha juu zaidi tangu mwaka 2022.
Hali hiyo inachangiwa na usumbufu katika eneo la Strait of Hormuz, ambalo ni njia muhimu inayopitisha takriban robo ya mafuta yanayotumika duniani.
TANZANIA INA MAFUTA YA KUTOSHA,LICHA YA BEI KUPANDA KUTOKANA NA VITA YA MASHARIKI YA KATI
Kwa mwezi Aprili 2026, gharama za kuagiza mafuta (premiums) katika Bandari ya Dar es Salaam zimeongezeka kwa wastani wa asilimia 15.3 kwa mafuta ya petroli na asilimia 10.8 kwa mafuta ya dizeli na hakuna mabadiliko ya gharama kwa mafuta ya taa.
Mabadiliko ya bei za mafuta nchini kwa mwezi Aprili 2026 yamechangiwa kwa kiasi kikubwa na vita inayoendelea Mashariki ya kati tarehe 28 Februari 2026.
