What is the reason for the disappearance of milk and oil from the market?

Al Markaziyah pointed out that “amid the exorbitant prices of food products, subsidies to them have become very rare for the citizen, so obtaining precious stones can be easier, especially basic ones such as oil, milk and sugar, knowing that the Banque du Liban continues to support them and not “It begins after the stage of rationalization of support, which has been talked about a lot lately.”

In the context, the head of the Supermarkets Union, Nabil Fahd, explained: “It is true that some can store these goods, but there is no monopoly in supermarkets, especially the large ones that are part of the Union, since they have no interest in storing subsidized goods because their quantities are very low compared to the percentage of sales. His interest is that these materials are available and customers can find them, “pointing out that” what happens is that subsidized commodities are witnessing a boom to buy them as soon as they are offered for sale, so they are sold out in a few hours. And the amount that was sold in a week is spent in a day. The demand is very great and all that. “A customer buys oil, sugar and milk, and priority is given to buying these products.”

Fahd concluded: “The Union categorically rejects any attempt to store subsidized materials. It does not consider these practices only as a commercial offense, but classifies them as a moral violation because the citizens need it.”
