We agreed that the rebate system is a convenient mechanism to ensure that there are no extra costs that are passed on to the final consumer. We managed to dichotomise the issues at hand and we came up with an agreed position that fuel alone is not the major contributor to the cost of production. Fuel alone doesn’t account for more than 5 percent of total costs on average. It is only in the transport sector where the cost of fuel can lead to a direct upward variation of 40 percent. Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries (CZI) president Mr Sifelani Jabangwe said there is no need there is no need for any price increase once the rebate is in place. *Related:* *“Fuel Price Increase Was Necessary And Remains Necessary”, Mnangagwa Says Despite Protests* *ED’s Statement On New Fuel Prices: $3.31 Petrol And $3.11 Diesel* *Govt Increases Fuel Prices* More: Sunday News _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
