Bahrain takes steps to control prices of food items

Bahrain yesterday said that it is closely monitoring the prices of all food products in the local markets to ensure there is no price rise during the Holy Month of Ramadan.

The prices of all basic food products including fruits and vegetables are being monitored.

The kingdom has been carrying out many periodic inspection campaigns to ensure that traders are not stocking excess fruits and vegetables with an aim to increase their prices after heavy demand during the Holy Month. Action was taken against many traders who would stock surplus quantities of fruits and vegetables.
