Kuwait bans food exports

Kuwait has banned the export of all food commodities in an effort to safeguard domestic supplies and stabilise prices. The temporary ban will remain in effect for one month from the date of its issuance.

The decision was issued by the Minister for Commerce and Industry of Kuwait, Osama Boodai.

In a statement, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry said the export of all types of food commodities is prohibited unless prior written approval is obtained from the Minister of Commerce and Industry.

The ministry also warned that anyone who violates this decision will be subject to the penalties stipulated in Decree-Law No. (10) of 1979.

In a separate decision, the minister also ordered the fixing of selling prices for all food commodities as part of broader efforts to curb price fluctuations.
