Times Kuwait, 8 March 2026: Kuwait’s Ministry of Commerce and Industry has intensified market inspections to stabilise food prices and protect consumers.

The ministry’s monitoring teams have begun extensive inspection tours across central markets and cooperative societies to ensure compliance with the ministerial decision fixing food commodity prices. According to the Director of the Commercial Control and Consumer Protection Department, inspections have not shown any price increases, and cooperatives are adhering to the pricing instructions.

Teams will continue monitoring outlets to ensure full compliance, with any violations being referred to the relevant legal authorities. In parallel, government entities have completed the supply of all 92 food distribution centres with essential commodities and are facilitating smooth delivery to central markets.

The ministry notes ongoing coordination with Kuwait Flour Mills and Bakeries Company to boost bread production and ensure continuous availability across distribution points. These measures aim to secure essential goods, maintain stable supply chains, and reinforce Kuwait’s food security, particularly during peak‑consumption periods.
