Rising fuel costs begin to bite across key sectors - March 2026

Kenya is experiencing the impact of rising fuel costs, which are beginning to affect various key sectors across the country. This increase is creating economic pressure for businesses and consumers. Separately, a tragic road accident on the Nyeri-Nyahururu road has resulted in multiple fatalities, with the cause of the accident potentially linked to the broader transportation challenges. Meanwhile, a severe fertiliser shortage in Kenya's agricultural heartland is jeopardizing the nation's food security, forcing farmers to delay planting and seek costly alternatives, with fuel costs likely contributing to increased transportation and input costs.
