Trafigura response to Public Eye report on fuel quality in Africa

Trafigura is a leading supplier to a number of markets in sub-Saharan Africa of refined petroleum products that meet national regulatory requirements for fuel, for example by blending materials from different sources. These requirements are imposed by national governments and cannot practically be altered by individual suppliers. We support the efforts already underway under the auspices of the African Refiners Association to lower permitted sulphur content in fuels supplied to African markets. This co-operative effort is the right way to effect necessary change. CLICK HERE to read the response letter from the Executive Secretary of the ARA (African Refiners Association) to Public Eye which provides some factual analysis of their report entitled “Dirty Diesel - How Swiss Traders Flood Africa with Toxic Fuels”. [Includes Q&A with Trafigura on report]
