The rates of commodities that are in most demand will be reduced by 50 per cent during the holy month of Ramadan this year, announced the UAE Ministry of Economy.

Dr. Hashim Al Nuaimi, Director, Consumer Protection Department, Ministry of Economy, said there will be no shortage of vegetables, fruits and other essential products, reported ‘Al Bayan’.

He called on all outlets in the UAE to provide their plans for reduction in prices of goods and deals for the month of Ramadan in the next two weeks.

Speaking at a meeting with representatives of outlets in Abu Dhabi yesterday, Dr. Nuaimi said that last year there was a 20 per cent increase in sales of Ramadan baskets, compared to the same period in 2014.
