A pledge has been signed to ensure affordable food will be flowing from growers and suppliers to fill the shelves of supermarkets and cold stores in the coming weeks.
The aim is to reassure families that they can carry on planning traditional feasts when breaking their fasts and gathering together throughout Ramadan.
The virtual gathering, organised by the Bahrain Chamber’s Food Sector Committee, was attended by entrepreneurs and store owners. The event was timely as the holy month is expected to start next week depending on moon sightings.
During the meeting, committee chairman Khalid Al Amin assured viewers and participants that the authorities would continue to work together to ensure traders do not take unfair advantage of a higher than usual demand for products.
