A new committee is expected to start regulating fruit and vegetable markets in the UAE by the end of this year, a top official said.
Dr Hashim Al Nuaimi, Director, Consumer Protection Department, Ministry of Economy, said the Higher Committee for Consumer Protection will establish a dedicated committee to oversee pricing, quality and other matters covering the fruits and vegetables sector.
In an interview with Gulf News, Dr Al Nuaimi said the sector was important because of its high trade volume and daily relevance to consumers.
