Question is hoe much do you get for 50/-? Is it cheaper than paraffin not forgetting the paraffin container is almost free? If not they're wasting their time.

BBI will solve it :)

Is this in line with the "kadogo" economy model that is so prevalent in the slams?

Good idea especially for the lower income segment of the market. Kerosene demand will probably fall. But the kadogo economy products are often expensive.

Jinga idea which is likely to fall flat on it's face.To refill 1KG you will require 300 bob.Put any other way,it's 3900 to a 13Kg cylinder.I get the same 13Kg at sub 3K.....Well.....50 bob will give you 167 grams of gas.....What would you cook with 167 grams of gas?NKT!
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

The kadogo economy has worked for fast moving consumer goods,such kind of goods don't require the kind of infrastructure this "pima" gas refilling demands. Hefty investments with paltry returns. It could fly, but as i see it, it's a sheep.

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

Some of us are talking like tycoons,but the low segment market cannot be ignored.when equity started dealing with wanjikus pple thought they were mad,,i think it will sell.
