Al-Obeidat, head of the National Society for Consumer Protection criticized
Shamali for comparing poultry prices in Jordan with prices in other countries.
Obeidat noted that
Jordan is self-sufficient in poultry and has a surplus, thus, prices must be
lower, according to Jo24.
Obeidat said the
minister’s statements “undermine the Jordanian people’s reasoning”, adding
these remarks were made to get away with responsibilities and to manipulate the
people to provide protection to the monopolists who control prices.
The poultry boycott
is still going on, and people are committed to it despite the low prices in the
market, and barely any purchases are being made on poultry.
Obeidat called on Shamali to set up poultry price caps in
order for the boycott campaign to come to an end.
