These reductions affect some widely consumed products as part of efforts to support families and preserve the purchasing power of citizens.
The Minister also announced the launch of 560 neighborhood markets across 69 states, starting on February 9, 2026. These markets will display various products at reasonable and reduced prices, with the aim of relieving pressure on the markets and enabling citizens to purchase their needs with ease.
Jadal said in her speech that instructions had been given to the Magro Foundation to ensure the continuation of the wholesale markets for vegetables and fruits starting this week, allowing the continuity of supply during the weekends and avoiding any disturbances in the market.
The Minister of Internal Trade confirmed that this initiative comes in anticipation of the holy month of Ramadan, which usually witnesses a change in consumer behavior and a rise in demand for widely consumed items.
The Minister also praised the strong involvement of economic operators in this dynamic of solidarity, by approving significant discounts on the occasion of the holy month, which will be put on the market starting tomorrow, Sunday, in a way that contributes to protecting the purchasing power of citizens and consolidating the spirit of economic and social responsibility.
