Transportation and logistics operators face unpredictable fuel cost fluctuations due to sudden government levy changes
Diesel-dependent businesses in Ghana (transporters, logistics companies, delivery services) struggle with volatile operating costs when government suddenly suspends or reinstates fuel levies, making it impossible to accurately budget, price services, or maintain profit margins.
