The Egyptian Minister of Supply and Internal Trade, Dr. Sherif Farouk, and Cairo Governor Dr. Ibrahim Saber inaugurated the “Ahlan Ramadan” exhibition on Sawah Street, Amireya district, which was organized by the Holding Company for Food Industries under the Ministry of Supply in collaboration with the Cairo Chamber of Commerce. It aligns with the political leadership's directives to provide essential and strategic high-quality goods to citizens at prices lower than those in the markets.

Dr. Hossam El-Din Fawzy, Deputy Governor of Cairo; Ayman Ashry, Chairman of the Cairo Chamber of Commerce; Naser Thabet, Director of the Supply Directorate; Dr. Alaa Nagi, Chairman of the Holding Company for Food Industries; and several officials of the Cairo governorate also attended the inauguration ceremony.

During the inauguration ceremony, Governor Saber said the governorate is continuing to establish outlets, one-day markets, and Ramadan fairs across all neighborhoods of the capital, especially in the neediest areas ahead of the holy month to ensure the availability of all essential goods in one place for citizens at affordable prices suitable for all social classes.

During the inauguration ceremony, Governor Saber said the governorate is continuing to establish outlets, one-day markets, and Ramadan fairs throughout all neighborhoods of the capital, particularly in the neediest areas, in preparation for the holy month. This initiative aims to ensure that essential goods are readily available in one location for citizens at affordable prices that cater to all social classes.

Governor Saber stated that there is strict oversight of prices at the "Ahlan Ramadan" exhibitions to protect citizens from exploitation. He also said that the executive bodies in the governorate are conducting extensive inspection campaigns throughout Cairo to ensure the availability of various goods in adequate quantities and at reasonable prices. These efforts aim to regulate the markets, combat commercial fraud and price manipulation, and address attempts by certain traders to monopolize essential goods.

Saber added that legal measures will be implemented against violators, emphasizing the necessity of displaying clear and legible price tags. He also highlighted the importance of marking the prices of food products on sale for each item individually, both before and after discounts.

The "Ahlan Ramadan" exhibition in the Amireya district, the largest exhibition of the Holding Company for Food Industries, offers discounts of up to 30% on all goods. These include rice, oil, sugar, flour, pasta, meat, poultry, vegetables, spices, dairy products, cleaning supplies, and fruits, all priced lower than market rates.
