The Mozambican Fuel Importer (IMOPETRO) assures that there is enough liquid fuel to cover 22 days, contrary to the scarcity of this product in the center and north of the country.

This guarantee comes in a context in which some consumers in the city of Beira, for example, are facing difficulties in purchasing gasoline, a situation that has prevailed for three weeks.

According to a NewsIn the city of Tete, motorists have been reporting shortages for two months, and only one pump has any gasoline, which could result in the product running out of stock in the next few days.

Meanwhile, in Chimoio, in Manica province, by Wednesday at least eight of the 20 filling stations had no fuel.

In view of the situation, IMOPETRO spokesman Celso Banze explained that there is no problem with importing or restocking oil products, because "the regulations in this area require 22 days of stock and we have it". "It may happen that one retailer or another doesn't have the product for some reason, but we don't have any problems with gasoline, diesel and Jet on the market," he said.

The source said that fuel supplies continue to flow, which is why just yesterday a ship was docked and unloading gasoline and diesel in Nacala.
