The Egyptian government has warned poultry producers against monopolistic practices and price-fixing as it seeks to stabilise the domestic market ahead of the month of Ramadan. He noted that competition law is designed to protect free-market mechanisms for the benefit of the national economy. Members of the General Association of Poultry Producers committed to individual price-setting based on market mechanics of supply and demand. The association stated it would work to increase supply in the coming weeks to meet the anticipated rise in demand during Ramadan. The meeting was attended by Mustafa El-Sayyad, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, and Mahmoud El-Anani, Chairman of the Poultry Association, alongside several board members.
