Kenyan businesses and consumers unable to accurately budget fuel costs due to unpredictable price volatility

Kenyan fleet operators, transport businesses, and fuel retailers face constant uncertainty in operational costs as diesel, petrol, and kerosene prices fluctuate monthly without clear predictability. Current price monitoring relies on government announcements that come after price changes are implemented, leaving businesses unable to plan budgets, adjust pricing, or hedge against sudden cost spikes. This directly impacts profit margins for logistics companies, public transport operators, and small businesses dependent on fuel.
