(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) Muscat- The Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI) will hold a meeting on Monday with private and government stakeholders in Dhofar to assess the preparations for the three-month khareef season which begins on June 21.
Akram bin Hassan al Mazraa, director general at the Directorate General for Commerce and Industry in Dhofar, said, 'This meeting is to discuss the readiness of various government and private entities to ensure that there is a regular supply of materials, goods and services throughout the season.'
During the meeting with officials from the private and government sectors, the importance of providing facilities and services by the authorities throughout the season will be reviewed.
'They have to ensure that foodstuffs reach all malls and markets like the way it was done last year.
'Additionally, the officials will be asked to monitor the market to ensure that prices are not inflated during the season. There will also be various promotional offers at commercial establishments.'
In addition, organising activities, events and exhibitions in malls will be discussed at
