Pedro de Sá, Operations Director at SonaGás, announced on Tuesday that there is no need to adjust the price of cooking gas despite a recent surge in demand.
In an interview with Rádio Nacional, de Sá explained that the increased demand over the past week led to temporary supply imbalances, but these are expected to be resolved shortly.
“SonaGás has a daily supply of 1,200 tons of butane gas available for distribution to the northern regions of the country,” he stated.
De Sá also urged consumers to purchase gas only from official stations to avoid inflated prices and to report any instances of price gouging.
