Businesses That Do Not Use Petrol, Should Not Increase Cost by Jokerman(op): 10:41am On Jun 04, 2023
Yes.

If your business does not utilise petrol, don't increase cost of goods and services.

Most businesses already use diesel, and some local goods don't make use of petrol at all, so why should there be an increase of goods and services.

Yes, we will arrest all the pepper sellers, salt sellers and millet sellers in the whole country. We can even arrest all the native doctors who raise their costs, because they use no electricity grin

This is the kind of illiterate views we shall keep seeing just because an old drug addict stole power.

Everybody does(virtually at least).

So many goods still gets transported by petrol engine vehicles.

Grinding machines too. Buses. Cars, small gen sets.

If the business does not use petrol the owners and the staff do. Transportation costs.

Your analysis is very faulty. The business doesn't operate in isolation. The business does businesses with other businesses that do businesses with petrol or do businesses with other businesses that are affected by change in petrol prices.

You understand? wink

Sounds logical, but you forget that those businesses will purchase items/ services that have association with Petrol.

Simple answer:

All the professions that you mentioned also have some things with people that need petrol for their businesses. For instance, they will use transportation services, they will alao fuel their cars and generator. I guess you understand how it works now.

The answer is simple
If u don't increase ur cost because u don't use petrol to run ur buz.
How will u cope because u still need to buy other products who prices are increase.
U have to increase ur service cost so u can afford other persons services.
