The National Gas Company, which is the public/private entity that will
take over the importation of butane from those Central American
Importers, is also speaking up in this wide open dispute.
They aren’t weighing in on the dispute between Government and the
Central American importers. National Gas Company is instead assuring
the public that they will continue their preparations to become
Belize’s only importer of butane.
National Gas Company says, quote, “For its part, NGC will continue to
prepare Belize’s sovereign capacity to directly access world markets
for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), thereby strengthening Belize’s self-
sufficiency and preparedness for emergencies such as this. World market
prices of petroleum products, including LPG acquired for sale in
Belize, have fallen significantly - caused in part by the pandemic.
This lower acquisition price should be passed on to the Belizean
consumer by way of the regulatory procedures established for the LPG
price setting.â€
