Although efforts have been made to find ways to lower fuel prices in Mon State, A member of the Mon State Government, Electricity, energy Industry and Transport Minister U Zeya Oo addressed the Mon State Parliament in Mawlamyine last June (15).In the program of the second regular meeting (third day) of the 3rd Mon State Hluttaw held at the conference hall, the representative of Kyaikmaro Township No. 2, U Thant Zaw, asked if there is a plan by the Mon State government to reduce the price of fuel sold and distributed in Mon State and to allow repurchase from Yangon (Thilawa) port.U Zeya Oo added this in his reply to the question. Importers importing motor fuel for Mon state, like importers importing motor fuel at Yangon Thilawa port, because the state does not sell dollars, the importers are importing motor fuel with their own dollars. As the dollar is not allowed to be bought at the set price given by the state, it has to be bought as close as possible to the external market price, so the reference price of motor oil from Yangon and the price from Mon stateAccording to the Mon State Motor Fuel Import Storage Distribution Association, the fuel reference price is different. It is reported that during the time of former Mon State Prime Minister U Aung Kyi Thein, Myanmar Energy King Company and Ya Zar Min Industry Company have been working on the import and distribution of motor fuel in Mon State because they won the tender, and the motor fuel is being distributed and sold in Mon State through the Puma International Port Terminal in Mudong Township's Katung Pa Village.
