Egypt’s Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade has ordered a significant reduction in the price of frozen poultry at state-affiliated outlets and “Ahlan Ramadan” exhibitions, moving the price below the current rate of EGP 120, Minister Sherif Farouq said on Monday. The price cut is part of a broader effort to secure strategic commodity stocks and provide goods at affordable prices before the holy month of Ramadan. Farouq highlighted a tripartite agreement between the Ministries of Supply and Agriculture and the “Future of Egypt” Agency for Sustainable Development to import poultry and poultry parts. Regarding market readiness for Ramadan, the minister noted that following field tours in Dakahlia and Alexandria last week, the ministry is prepared to open two main “Ahlan Ramadan” exhibitions in Cairo and Giza this week. He called for the expansion of outlets and exhibitions to ensure that high-quality goods remain available at fair prices to maintain market stability.
