posted (June 15, 2020)
There is a new, increased price for the sale of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), which is better known locally as butane.

In all 6 districts, butane will wholesale for $2.64 per gallon. In all the urban areas of Belize City, Belmopan, San Ignacio, Benque Viejo Del Carmen, Orange Walk Town, Corozal Town, Dangriga, and Punta Gorda, the cooking gas will retail for 96 cents per pound and $4.24 per gallon. Last month, the retail prices in these same areas were 88 cents per pound and $3.86 per gallon.

In all the rural areas countrywide, butane will retail at 99 cents per pound or $4.34 per gallon. Last month the retail prices for these same areas were 90 cents per pound or $3.96 per gallon.

The Bureau of Standards explains that this month's increase in retail prices is due to an increase in acquisition prices for LPG.
