Procuring strategic commodities from global and local markets and ensuring safe stocks of them contributes to balancing supply and demand, combating monopolistic competition, and achieving market balance and price stability in the face of food inflationary waves.

Strategy

The General Authority for Supply Commodities is one of the economic bodies entrusted with achieving the following objectives:

  • Procuring and providing food and consumer goods that meet the needs of the broad base of low-income individuals within the framework of the support plan adopted by the state.
  •  Creating balance in local markets by regulating the movement of domestic trade and prices in a way that preserves food security and prevents monopolistic practices. Arranging and providing the country's needs for basic commodities, as decided by the Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade, whether by import or local management, in addition to any other commodities facing any monopolistic practices in the local market. The Authority spends on the goods it is entrusted to manage through the support amounts provided by the Ministry of Finance. The support amount represents the difference between the cost of the commodity and its selling price.
