"The information available from the various ministerial departments and public bodies shows that the markets are normally supplied with all goods and products and that the supply largely covers the estimated needs for the coming months, which will make it possible to meet the demand for all goods and products," the department of General Affairs and Governance under the ministry of Economy, Finance and Administration Reform said in a statement.
The supply of cereals and pulses corresponds to four months' consumption, without taking account of the quantities being imported after suspension of customs duties, the statement noted, adding that for fruit and vegetables, the areas sown and estimated production will make it possible to cover requirements up to the end of the current year.
Fish landings are expected to increase, following the gradual resumption of fishing activity that has been halted due to the state of health emergency, which will coincide with the improvement in climatic conditions, added the same source.
Regarding commodity prices, the commission noted the stabilization of their majority compared to previous weeks, pointing out that average vegetable prices continued their downward trend compared to last week, reaching rates of +6% for green onion, -4% for tomatoes and more than -3% for potatoes.
