Its curious the WFP reports on supply chain never mention the price of gas or petrol in Puntland only mentioning the percentage increases, but always mention the price in Somaliland in slshl. They never want a comparison of the cost of living to occur in real terms. But when Somaliland has a lower metric they go out of their way to mention it.

Its not only tax that accounts for differences. It’s the amount imported and mode of transport, storage facilities etc. Berbera port has an LPG terminal with 1200MT with portable storage tanks. By contrast, the Djibouti LPG terminal is 600MT, making Berbera’s LPG terminal as the largest in the Horn of Africa region. Bosaso has non (to the best of my knowledge).

They are trying to raise taxation but in doing so they are causing more harm. It is the classic case of the economic conundrum: ‘The Diminishing returns’

In this facebook audio conference linked above, some officials from PL have confirmed that they get all their gas from Somaliland. Apparently, Somaliland doesn’t tax Gas - which is an environmental policy to help people switch from charcoal to gas.

Some in the conference call are saying 20kg Gas bottle costs in Hargeisa between 20-24 USD equivalent. While when it reaches Laascaanood it costs around $26. When it crosses the border into PL, it gets taxed and the merchants also add their profits and it is finally sold at markets to the people between $43 - $48. This means, it costs twice as much when sold to the end users in PL when compared to SL market.

This is an economic travesty for PL. It basically means each family or food-outlet in Puntland is at least $20 poorer per bottle of gas, when compared to Somaliland. That is substantial as the cost of living in estimated to be between $1 - $3 per family on average per day.
