An agreement between the State Procurement of Madagascar (SPM) and four petroleum operators provides for the mobilization of 60 million liters of diesel to ensure continuous supply to the Malagasy market. The accord, signed on August 27 at the Energy Ministry, involves two distinct operations: 20 million liters will be loaned by SPM to distributors, while 40 million liters will be sold to them. Galana Distribution Pétrolière, Jovena, TotalEnergies Madagascar, and Vivo Energy Madagascar are covered by this arrangement. The 20 million liters provided as a loan represent approximately one week of national consumption. Demand increases during the high season. This additional reserve should allow companies to maintain sufficient stock levels and continue normal diesel distribution across the country's regions while awaiting the next shipments. The measure comes amid particular circumstances at Toamasina port, where two vessels carrying petroleum products arrived simultaneously. The first carried SPM's cargo and the second that of private operators. Priority given to unloading the vessel carrying public company products temporarily delayed operations for the second ship. To prevent this delay from affecting gas stations and consumers, the various stakeholders decided to temporarily pool their resources. The vessel chartered by operators carries approximately 50 kilotonnes of fuel. Its unloading should further strengthen available reserves. Collaboration between public and private actors is an established mechanism in the sector: when one party faces temporary stock shortages, the other can intervene to preserve distribution continuity. Marc Renauld, general director of Galana Madagascar and president of the Petroleum Group of Madagascar, emphasizes that the central objective remains diesel availability. The product supplied by SPM meets required quality standards, particularly regarding sulfur content. No changes to pump prices are planned following this operation. Rates charged to motorists should therefore remain unchanged. The Malagasy Hydrocarbon Office will continue monitoring the market and ensuring compliance with competition rules. A new shipment, this time dedicated to gasoline, is expected in early September. Through these various operations, authorities and distributors seek to prevent shortages, maintain regular fuel availability across the entire territory, and preserve market functioning while awaiting the next supplies.
