Porpane will be sold at $325 per metric ton, up USD five compared with that of April, the KPC told KUNA. Butane is priced at $380 per metric ton, up $30 compared to April sales. Propane and butane prices are affected by the price of crude oil, and the value of the US dollar, along with geopolitical factors and natural disasters. The two substances are used in the petrochemical industry, cooking, heating and other uses.
