Consumer Group Calls for Price Review of Zagato and Dried Fruits
The Consumer Guidance Organization is examining the necessity of reviewing the pricing structure for "Zgougou" and dried fruits to protect citizens' purchasing power. The price per kilogram of "Zgougou" ranges between 45 and 55 dinars, while the prices of dried fruits are significantly high, with "Boufrewia" reaching about 60 dinars, almonds between 50 and 51 dinars, and "Jouza" at 45 dinars. Despite an estimated national "Zgougou" harvest of 300 to 350 tons, only one-third of the crop is harvested, raising questions about the reasons for underutilization of the full yield and its valuation throughout the year. The organization called on the Ministry of Agriculture to intervene by extending the harvesting period and increasing quantities, as well as reviewing the profits of middlemen to curb unjustified price hikes, especially given some degree of self-sufficiency in dried fruits.
