Jashbeer highlighted that consumers’ interest in purchasing
domestic products strengthens self-reliance and increases employment
opportunities for those who are unemployed, Jo24 reported.
Furthermore, Jaghebeer underlined that demand for locally
made commodities promotes development and
increases production volume, hence
boosting self-sufficiency. He said that citizens expressed a strong desire to purchase domestically created goods in
recent months.
Regarding pricing, Jaghebeer explained that products with
international brand names are often more expensive than other products, even if
they do not necessarily outperform them in terms of quality. He emphasized that
buyers pay for the brand name rather than the quality of the products. In many
cases, local items are of the same quality as their international equivalents
but at a lower price. Citizens' feedback indicates that their
shopping bills have fallen as a result of reliance on local industries.
Jaghebeer further stated that local industries are now
competing in terms of standards and quality as a result of ongoing industrial
growth. There is also a plan to use alternate energy sources and
national gas to cut operating costs.
He also advocated for the elimination of service fees,
which ranged between 1-5
percent, in order to cut production costs. Jaghebeer asked the government to
prioritize domestic industry while granting contracts, highlighting the
importance of royal orders supporting the industry through the Industrial
Support Fund.
