The Ministry of Electricity and Energy, in cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation and regional and state governments, is directly distributing domestically produced diesel to farmers at their worksites.
This initiative aims to ease fuel shortages and enable farmers to purchase fuel easily at an affordable price. For the 2025-2026 summer paddy and oil crop cultivation season, diesel is being sold at a rate of K10,000 per gallon on a cash payment basis to villages where ploughing and planting are still ongoing.
As part of this direct distribution, a total of 7,609 gallons of diesel were delivered today. Of this, 650 gallons were distributed in Tatkon Township and Pobbathiri Township; 110 gallons in Pyay Township; 2,271 gallons in Amarapura Township, Wundwin Township, and Pyawbwe Township; and 4,578 gallons in Pwintbyu Township.
Diesel will continue to be distributed on a cash payment basis, in cooperation with relevant authorities, to farmers in the remaining regions and states.
