Doha, Qatar: The Al-Sailiya Central Market is operating smoothly with abundant supplies of agricultural produce, while authorities from the Ministry of Commerce and Industry continue to enforce strict monitoring measures to ensure price stability and full compliance with official regulations across the market.

Head of the Central Markets Department at the Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI) Yousef Mohammed Al-Muhaiza, affirmed that supplies of vegetables, fruits and leafy produce are widely available, with quantities sufficient to meet consumer demand for extended periods.

Speaking to Qatar TV recently, Al-Muhaiza explained that the ministry issues a daily mandatory price bulletin, which retailers and market outlets are required to follow. Inspectors from the ministry’s market monitoring and licensing departments conduct daily inspection campaigns to verify that all traders and retail outlets adhere to the official pricing and the regulations governing sales in the market.

He added that inspection teams are deployed throughout the market, including in the auction yard, wholesale sections and retail outlets, to ensure that traders comply with the approved pricing structure and other regulatory requirements. 

According to the official, merchants have demonstrated strong commitment to the regulations while maintaining steady supplies of produce.
