Zimbabwe has been ranked among the top 10 African countries with the highest diesel prices in March 2025, according to GlobalPetrolPrices. The country’s diesel price sits at $1.55 per litre, driven by currency fluctuations and high import duties. This surge in fuel prices is increasing operational expenses for businesses, particularly in manufacturing, transport, and agriculture.
The Central African Republic (CAR) has the highest diesel price in Africa, with prices surpassing $2 per litre. This spike is largely due to the nation’s heavy reliance on fuel imports and persistent logistical challenges. Other countries with high diesel prices include Seychelles, Cameroon, and Burundi, which have all seen slight increases in prices compared to February.
The rising fuel prices are likely to be passed on to consumers, fueling inflation and reducing household purchasing power. In contrast, diesel prices in Malawi, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Guinea, and Uganda have decreased, while prices in Sierra Leone have remained unchanged. The global average diesel price remains at $1.20 per litre, according to GlobalPetrolPrices.
