The Professional Association of Wholesale Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Depot Owners in Morocco has called off a planned work stoppage scheduled for April 21 and 22, 2026. The decision follows what the association described as a "fruitful" meeting with the Delegate Minister in charge of the Budget, Fouzi Lekjaa.
The distributors had threatened the strike to protest against what they termed "unfair competition" from subsidized butane gas cylinders distributed by the state-owned company Afriquia Gaz. They argued this practice was harming their businesses.
Following the negotiations, the association announced the suspension of its protest action. While the full details of the agreement were not immediately disclosed, the resolution averts potential disruptions to the supply of cooking gas across the country.
