Ecuador taxi drivers report GLP shortages; Petroecuador insists dispatches normal

On October 1, taxi drivers in Ecuador reported difficulties obtaining liquefied petroleum gas (GLP), forming lines at distribution points. State oil company Petroecuador claims dispatches are proceeding normally, but the discrepancy suggests possible supply chain disruptions or distribution bottlenecks. The situation could signal fuel supply stress in Ecuador, with potential knock-on effects for transport and energy markets.
