Fuel prices surge to SSP 18,500, squeezing Juba households

Fuel prices have increased again in Juba, with petrol and diesel now selling for between SSP 18,000 and SSP 18,500 per litre at several filling stations on Tuesday. The latest hike is expected to increase transport fares and the cost of food and other basic goods, putting more pressure on households and businesses.

The increase continues a steady rise in fuel prices this year. In March 2026, petrol sold for about SSP 12,000 per litre, after climbing from around SSP 6,500. The higher prices have coincided with a weaker South Sudanese pound, shortages of foreign currency, and rising import and transport costs.

The latest increase also comes as the government's fuel import agreement with Kenya remains under scrutiny. Under the government-to-government arrangement, Pacific Petroleum became the sole company authorized to import fuel into South Sudan, replacing a system in which several companies supplied the market. The government said the deal was intended to improve fuel supply, stabilize prices, and reduce shortages.

Some private fuel marketers and industry stakeholders have questioned the arrangement, arguing that limiting imports to a single supplier reduced competition and effectively created a monopoly. They say reduced competition can make it easier for higher import costs or price increases to be passed on to consumers. The government has defended the agreement as necessary to maintain a reliable fuel supply.

South Sudan imports nearly all of its refined petroleum products, making local fuel prices sensitive to exchange rate movements, international supply costs, and government import policies. With fuel now selling for as much as SSP 18,500 per litre, consumers are likely to face higher transport costs and further increases in the prices of basic commodities.
