Random storage of goods may cause unjustified rises in prices
Earlier, Hazem Al-Menoufi, a member of the Foodstuffs Division, confirmed that the warnings issued by the Meteorological Authority regarding the violent cold waves and expected fluctuations during the coming winter require serious preparation from merchants and consumers alike, since these conditions may directly affect the movement of transportation and the flow of goods within supply chains, which may affect the stability of the markets unless the situation is managed wisely.
Al-Menoufi explained that the winter season usually witnesses an increase in demand for a number of basic food commodities, most notably legumes of all kinds, potatoes and onions, oils, ghee and butter, pasta and flour, in addition to hot drinks such as tea, cocoa, orchid and herbal drinks, in addition to white and black honey known for its role in boosting immunity during this season.
He pointed out that this increase in demand, in the absence of careful follow-up, may cause temporary price increases or shortages in some goods as a result of random storage or undisciplined practices by some merchants, which the Division is working to address and warn the markets about on an ongoing basis.
