Why does EPRA reduce the price of oil products
According to the EPRA, the average landing cost of imported Super Petrol decreased by 4.89% from $ 637.22 (KSh 82,616) per cubic meter February 2025 to $ 606.06 (KSh 78,576) per meter in March 2025.
The cost of diesel landing decreased by 6.45% from $ 680.63 (KSh 88,244) per cubic meter to $ 636.75 (KSh 82,555) per cubic meter, while kerosene decreased by 6.53% from $ 672.14 (Ksh 382 to $ 27) (Ksh 81,449) in the same period.
This came after the global oil price reported a significant decline in April, with the crude oil drop to $ 66 per barrel and WTI up to $ 61.50.
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) raw has dropped to $ 61.50 per barrel from April 11, 2025.
Speaking to TUKO.co.ke alone, economist Daniel Kithaburu linked the global oil price decline and a change of US policy on tariffs.

“That decrease can be linked to some extent with weak demands from major markets such as China. The expectation is that the increased tariff, which Trump suggested after being re -elected, has and will continue to cause economic tension and fear of the global economic downturn,” Said the Cathedral.
EPRA Calls Benefits to Petroleum Product Traders
In March 2025, the EPRA amended revenue for oil traders, retail retailers and transporters.
The change in oil rates sparked outrage among Kenyans as many of them estimated the increase in the pump price.
However, Poak's Chairman of the Poak (POAK) Martin Chomba explained TUKO.co.ke that the change would not affect the price of the pump.
