AMMAN — Director-General of
Civil Service Consumer Corporation Salman Al-Qudah said on Sunday that the decision to put a ceiling
on the quantities of basic commodities sold to consumers aims to ensure that
that these commodities are purchased by the targeted beneficiaries, according
to Al-Mamlaka TV.

Qudah added that "limiting the quantities of items sold
would help the corporation to maintain a regular stockpile of goods, and avoid
buying new stock at higher prices, stressing the availability of a large stock
of foodstuffs in warehouses.
The corporation had earlier announced that it has fixed the
prices of several commodities, including sugar, oils, milk and canned foods due
to a triple increase in demand. Qudah
pledged there will be no hike in prices during Ramadan, and urged citizens to
refrain from stockpiling food commodities, promising continued availability.
