I'm also concerned about how long that gas will last. However, its target mkt must make sense of it against use of kerosene or charcoal and if it makes sense, then they have a sale plus gas is 'safer' when properly used.

I always use my 6kg for 2-3months, so if i use it for 2 months it means i consume daily 100g. so you know what one can do with 167g!!!!smile

@Lenny,
I am not a tycoon by any means but i realise buying 1Kg of this Pima whatever will cost me 300 bob whereas a kg in the market cost 253 bob or less...huh!...and don't compare this Pima with Equity.During the days,opening an account with Equity was uchi,balance in acc,uchi and somuch more free stuff...it worked.Now,with Pima,wanjiku has to buy a cylinder at 2KSad .....errrr!!....It would make sense if the cylinder was availed uchi and the we talk 300 bob.

@Dynamic,

And not forgetting the cost of the cylinder and the disadvantage of having only one provider.

I don't disagree in trying to provide for the low segment mkt @mlennyma but that mkt is not only very demand driven, it's also very cost driven and that's why it is very hard trying to model the cooking fat concept which just requires a nylon paper to gas which requires a cylinder plus the added margin. For me, this ain't gonna work but will make a great case study one day.

BBI will solve it

If they only refill other cylinders and make it more available in supermarkets and petrol stations, then they will make serious cash.

I'm of the idea that gas should be like fuel, you refill as per my affordability !

WHY do you keep quoting the wrong price for gas. It costs 3800/- for 13kg so 1kg=292.307....300/- is very fair. If you scale up the price of Blue Band small sachets itll cost more than the Big one. Niki we!!
