Kuwait Is Removed From The Wheat Export Ban By India
Kuwait will be supplied with all the food products it needs over the next few months from India, including wheat, which had been banned from export due to shortages.
During a meeting recently with the Kuwaiti Minister of Commerce and Industry, H.E Sibi George assured Al-Shariaan that New Delhi is willing and ready to help Kuwait with food commodities. George recalled Kuwait's important role during the Corona pandemic, which involved supplying India with 215 metric tons of oxygen and more than a thousand cylinders to compensate for the shortage that India's hospitals faced."
In the Corona crisis, Kuwait's Ambassador emphasized the importance of Kuwait's relief work, concerning all foodstuffs needed for Kuwait, including a decision to lift Kuwait's ban on wheat exports.
Meanwhile, the sources revealed to the committee that the Competition Protection Authority summoned a number of chicken supply companies operating in the ministry's supply chain to be investigated for allegedly deliberately reducing the flow of their products.
It is said that CPA officials have recently began investigating chicken supplying companies after they found that they failed to notify the Ministry of Commerce or the Kuwaiti Catering Company with any indications that their chicken stock might be declining as required by law. Companies are expected to notify the Ministry within three months for any threats to its supply flow.
It was alleged that the companies asked for an investigation because they were unaware that they might face complications, either in production or import, which had created regulatory concerns that they had cut their chicken supply, or at least, they were not following contractually stipulated conditions and criteria for price increases.
