Ammon – Monitoring – The Secretary-General of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Supply, Dana Al-Zoubi, confirmed that preparations for the holy month of Ramadan began 3 months ago.

Al-Zoubi said during statements to the Sixty Minutes program on Jordanian TV that the strategic stock is higher than the safe supply period estimated at two months, as the supply period for some legumes, oils and sugar has reached 5 months.

She indicated that the Ministry’s cadres will carry out inspection campaigns in the morning and evening and after the 15th of Ramadan, in addition to a night inspection tour until two in the morning.

She noted that the Ministry monitors the prices of about 90 commodities, of which approximately 70% are stable in price, stressing that the current Ramadan period will witness stability in the prices of vegetables and fruits, coinciding with the transition from one agricultural cycle to another in which crops are available.

Regarding poultry prices, Al-Zoubi explained that their prices are significantly lower and much lower compared to last year due to an increase in production, and this increase will continue during the month of Ramadan.

As for meat, she confirmed that there is an increase in the prices of imported meat due to the interruption of supply chains due to political unrest.
