Dr. Salem confirmed that work is continuing on amending Decree 8, especially the differentiation between serious and non-serious violations in order to abolish the prison sentence for small violations and tighten it for serious violations, indicating that the directives are permanent to monitor the follow-up of major violating traders, especially that there is information about violating traders who They raise prices contrary to what they claim, and they were violated, and the judicial investigations were organized against them.
Minister Salem explained that what matters to the ministry is the availability and flow of commodities in the markets and pricing based on the real cost, and as for vegetables and fruits, they are perishable materials and enter the cardamom market throughout the day, and there are rapid changes for them, so pricing must be daily based on real costs.
