bongo5.com ↗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.
