“The UAE has adopted a proactive approach in managing strategic stock and supply chains to ensure the continued, efficient, and abundant flow of goods and food products in the markets. We, at the Ministry of Economy and Tourism, in collaboration with local economic departments and relevant authorities, continue to monitor stock levels at suppliers and retail outlets on a daily basis, and conduct precise analyses of the adequacy levels for each commodity. There are also periodic assessments of the strategic stock levels of basic commodities and supply and demand processes,” he added.
