The National Premix Secretariat has assured fisherfolks of plans to solve the perennial premix fuel shortage conundrum.
Addressing the issue , Nana Abrokwah Asare, an administrator at the National Premix Secretariat, said it is working to make the product available to fisherfolks.
Fisherfolks have in recent times lamented the unavailability of the product, which they say is affecting their fishing activities.
Mr. Abrokwah Asare blamed the shortages partly on the recent increases in the prices of fuel, which he said the Secretariat depends on for its production, processing and supply of the product.
He said, “the National Premix Secretariat has been engaging the Ghana National Council for Premix for the past weeks because, in the past weeks, they’ve had some challenges with the supply of premix fuel because of the skyrocketing price of fuel.”
He further explained that the composition of the product makes its supply daunting, especially with an increase in the prices of petroleum products.
