Doha: The Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI) has announced a reduction of prices for hundreds of consumer goods during Ramadan.
In coordination with major sales outlets, more than 900 items are offered at discounts starting today, March 12, until the end of the holy month.
“The Ministry of Commerce and Industry announced the launch of the discounted consumer goods list initiative which includes more than 900 commodities to be implemented from Sunday morning until the end of the blessed month of Ramadan,” MoCI said.
MoCI added that "the initiative comes within the framework of the Ministry's continued keenness over the past years to launch such initiatives by providing the needs of citizens and residents for consumer goods at reduced prices during this holy month, as spending on the purchase of food and consumer goods increases."
The types of discounted items include the most important food and consumer goods required by a family during Ramadan:
Rice, flour, noodles, yogurt and dairy products, cereals and corn flakes, powdered and condensed milk, cooking oil, butter, cheeses, juices, sugar, coffee, salt, dates, bottled water, tissue paper, detergent powder, pastries, legumes, frozen vegetables, poultry and its products, eggs, meat products, tomato paste, tea, ghee, yeast, personal hygiene items, household cleaning agents, garbage bags, and more.
