BELIZE CITY, Thurs. Nov. 20, 2014

The Belize Bureau of Standards announced late this evening that the price of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), a mixture of propane and butane, will fall effective tomorrow.

The price of LPG imported from PEMEX in Mexico will fall by $6, and so consumers in Punta Gorda, who were paying $120 for the 100-pound cylinder, will now pay $114, while Belize City customers will pay $109, down from $115.

Meanwhile, the price of LPG sourced from Central America, which has 90:10 mix of propane, will fall by $6, from $112 to $106 in Belize City.

If the LPG is sourced from Belize Natural Energy, the local producer, the cost should be $99 for a 100-pound cylinder.
