  • 05/08/2022

Kuwait City: Assistant Undersecretary for Cooperation Affairs, Hiyam Al-Khudair, confirmed that there are not major violations in raising prices, with the availability of chicken and a variety of companies of all sizes, fresh and frozen, explaining that the "trade" has the competence to take measures against companies that previously refrained from supplying chicken.


She pointed out during a tour of the Seville Cooperative Society by the food security support team, in the presence of inspectors from the Ministry of Commerce, that the food stock in Kuwait is solid, and the stores are full of all kinds, explaining that the past period witnessed a reduction in certain items, but things returned to their previous era and are better.

She mentioned that as a team composed of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Community Development, the Ministry of Commerce and some authorities, we were keen to carry out inspection tours from time to time to check on the state of food stocks in Kuwait.

During the tour, the director of the technical staff for supervising goods and setting prices at the Ministry of Commerce, Faisal Al-Ansari, said: The management of the technical staff of trade and industry inspectors is carrying out their tasks in following up on prices in cooperative societies and markets provided by the Ministry of Commerce through the system and following them up on the ground.

He added that we are working within the team formed by the Council of Ministers to follow up the food issue in the cooperative societies in cooperation with the "Affairs", the "Manpower", the Agriculture and the Competition and Consumer Protection Authority, and we have made sure of the strategic stock of goods, and we reassure consumers of the availability of food commodities, and we also made tours in Stores to see the available materials and the quality of storage, even chickens are available and we continue our tours to reassure consumers and protect food security.

These tours stem from the team's tasks in following up everything related to food security, providing consumables and maintaining prices.
