Al-Mulla warns of egg crisis, urges export freeze to protect consumers
The President of the Federation of Consumer Cooperative Societies stated that, due to the export practices of some firms, he issued a warning against non-cooperation and called for the initiation of direct egg imports.
• Musab Al-Mulla stressed that the Federation of Consumer Cooperative Societies “will not allow consumers to be affected by the shortage of essential goods like eggs.”
Musab Al-Mulla, President of the Federation of Consumer Cooperative Societies, urged the Ministry of Trade, Commerce, and Industry to halt egg exports to ensure the continued availability of this essential commodity at the set price in cooperative associations, preventing a potential shortage on store shelves.
Al-Mulla told Al-Rai newspaper, “It has been noted that some egg companies failed to supply more than fifty cooperatives with the required quantities, claiming there is no stock available, despite the fact that central markets are well-stocked with the commodity, along with large quantities intended for export at the expense of the local consumer.”
Al-Mulla also pointed out, “This crisis recurs annually during this period under the pretext of insufficient quantities, often due to the export practices of some companies.” He warned these companies against failing to cooperate and called for the opening of direct imports of eggs.
He stressed that the Federation of Consumer Cooperative Societies “will not allow consumers to be affected by the shortage of essential goods like eggs.”
