The Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (Zera) has increased LPG prices for May to US$1,95 per kg (ZWG46,89) from US$1,85 in April 2026.
The authority said the LPG prices – effective 7 May – are calculated according to the Petroleum (Petroleum Gas Pricing) Regulations 90 of 2021.
In March, LPG was priced at US$1.56 per kg.
The recent surge in LPG prices is driven by escalating global crude oil and natural gas prices, as LPG is a byproduct of their processing, compounded by the ongoing Middle East crisis.
