Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Petroleum Importers Limited (PIL) says transportation of fuel by rail will likely reduce the commodity\u2019s prices in Malawi.

He added that apart from rail transportation through Nacala Port, other means of transporting fuel will still continue, citing road transportation from Dar es Salaam and Beira.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll means of transporting fuel either by road through Dar es Salaam and Beira will continue,\u201d said the PIL General Manager.<\/p>\n

He also said the country has adequate fuel storage capacity but the only limiting factor is inadequate forex that makes it difficult to import the fuel.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have the storage capacity only that scarcity of forex is the big challenge leading to failure to purchase adequate fuel,\u201d Msimuko said. Malawi has been importing fuel through Beira and Dar es Salaam ports over the years and transportation was done by road.<\/p>\n
