Transportation, agricultural, and industrial sectors are all at risk of experiencing cost increases, should diesel price spike. This is particularly difficult for African countries who have yet to diversify their energy sources and consider alternate possibilities.
Reasonably priced energy, especially diesel, is essential to the economic health of several African countries.
Low diesel prices contribute to lower operational costs for important industries including manufacturing, transportation, and agriculture, which propels growth in several nations.
