BOPRA flags fuel-price undercutting as fair competition threat :: Mmegi Online

Botswana Petroleum Retailers Association (BOPRA), an association representing petroleum retailers operating within Botswana, says it is concerned by the continued reports of fuel being sold below regulated pump prices.

In a recent media brief, the association representative, Billy Sekgororoane, stated that, to the extent such practices occur, they may further disadvantage compliant retailers and accelerate the transfer of volumes away from smaller operators.

“The association’s concern is not only the impact on individual retailers, but also the implications for the long-term sustainability of a diverse and competitive retail fuel sector. The issue highlights the importance of consistent enforcement of regulated fuel prices and the need for a dealer margin methodology that takes account of the realities of the current market structure,” he revealed.
