Taifa Gas, backed by Tanzanian billionaire Rostam Aziz, is completing a $124 million LPG import terminal in Mombasa to break Kenya's two-player cooking gas duopoly. The 30,000-tonne facility (expandable to 45,000 tonnes) addresses a supply bottleneck as Kenyan demand for cooking gas surged 14.59% in H2 2025.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you supply LPG equipment, storage tanks, or logistics to East Africa, a new 30,000-tonne terminal just opened a customer that needs to fill it. Taifa Gas is now competing on price, not availability—margins compress for the two incumbents and expand for their suppliers.
