Dr. Ali Al-Moselhi, the Minister of Supply and Internal Trade, has emphasized the importance of increasing local sugar production from beets and cane to ensure a consistent supply and build up strategic reserves. He has directed sugar beet companies to ensure timely payment and logistical organization for farmers, and to maintain production regularity. Delta Sugar, a national company, is playing a key role in this, receiving around 21,000 tons of beet daily from farmers and producing over 144,000 tons of loose white sugar. The Minister is overseeing the supply of the beet crop and ensuring health and safety measures are in place for factory workers.
