The Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI) has announced the launch of its discounted consumer goods initiative, which covers more than 500 products during Ramadan.

The initiative, which was launched in cooperation with major shopping malls, comes into effect today and will remain applicable until the end of the holy month of Ramadan.

The initiative comes within the framework of the Ministry’s efforts over the past years to meet citizens and residents’ needs for consumer goods at reduced prices during the holy month, when spending on food commodities traditionally increases.

The initiative covers basic commodities consumed during Ramadan, such as flour, sugar, rice, pasta, chicken, oil, milk, and other food and non-food items of relative importance to consumers, and whose consumption increases during the holy month.

The Ministry has engaged and coordinated with suppliers to identify and secure the various types of in-demand goods at appropriate and affordable prices.

The list of discounted consumer goods has been circulated to all major shopping malls across the country, and is accessible to consumers through the Ministry’s website and social network pages.

The Ministry has stressed that it will not tolerate any violations of the Consumer Protection Law and its regulations, and will intensify its inspection campaigns to crack down on violations. The Ministry said it will refer those who violate laws and ministerial decisions to competent authorities, who will in turn take appropriate action against perpetrators to protect consumer rights.

According to list, QFM Flour No1 (5kg) will be sold at QR16; QFM whole wheat flour (10kg) at QR22.25, Yara pure sunflower oil (1.8litre) at QR11.75, Yara pure corn oil (1.8litre) at QR16, Baladna fresh yogurt full fat (2kg) at QR10, Rawa orange juice (1litre) at QR5.5, Lurpark butter (400gram) at QR14.25, Dandy orange juice (1.5litre) at QR8.25. (The MEC Price list is published here.)
