Sherif Farouk, Minister of Supply and Internal Trade, held a high-level meeting with senior officials of the Holding Company for Food Industries to assess the status of Egypt’s strategic stock of essential commodities. The session focused on monitoring supply levels, production rates, and the efficiency of the distribution network.
This initiative aligns with the state’s continued efforts to secure citizens’ needs, support market stability, and strengthen national food security.
During the meeting, officials reviewed inventory levels across warehouses managed by the Holding Company and affiliated wholesale companies. Discussions also covered the regularity of supply flows from producers and suppliers to these warehouses, as well as the performance of logistics and distribution systems serving sales outlets—including consumer complexes, the “Gam’eyati” initiative, and ration card grocers nationwide.
Minister Farouk underscored the importance of maintaining high operational readiness, closely tracking daily supply flows, and safeguarding a robust strategic reserve—especially in light of ongoing global and regional economic challenges. He stressed the need to enhance the trading and distribution framework to ensure timely and accessible delivery of goods to citizens.
The Minister also called for stronger coordination between the Holding Company and its subsidiaries, along with deepened partnerships with suppliers and producers, to uphold stable supply chains and maintain the highest standards of service, quality, and discipline.
