Algeria is initiating early preparations for the 2027 Ramadan season to ensure the availability of essential goods. Minister of Internal Trade and Market Regulation, Amel Abdellatif, met with sugar and vegetable oil producers to discuss proactive measures for maintaining steady supply chains. Given the high demand for these subsidized items during the holy month, the authorities aim to prevent potential shortages and ensure market stability. This move aligns with the broader efforts led by President Abdelmadjid Tebboune to curb speculation and stabilize prices of consumer products following recent market fluctuations in agricultural goods.
