AMMAN — President of the Consumer
Protection Association Mohammad Obiedat confronted the
Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Supply and other regulatory bodies for not reducing the prices of
oil, dairy, meat, and sugar in the Kingdom despite a recent report by the World
Food Organization noting their decline in global markets, Jo24 reported.

He called on the
ministry to tighten market controls and set prices, stressing that it “does not
do this at all, and does not perform its duty”.
Obiedat added that such bodies “do not play a real
role in markets and do not examine the prices of global markets, so prices
remain the same”.
He added that there is a “clear price discrepancy”
between goods sold at small markets and those sold at major commercial markets
and malls, as well as in governorates far from Amman.
He also called on the public to purchase their groceries
from smaller markets and to avoid large stores.
