The Consumer Protection Authority, in cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries
and Water Resources, carried out a joint inspection campaign to review the readiness of a
number of slaughterhouses in Muscat ahead of the blessed Eid Al-Adha, within the framework
of the joint efforts aimed at enhancing supervision and monitoring the preparedness of
facilities directly associated with consumers’ needs during the season.
The visit aimed to assess the readiness of slaughterhouses to receive consumers prior to the
Eid, verify price stability, review the regulatory and health procedures in place, and ensure the
smooth flow of operations in line with the anticipated demand for slaughtering services during
the days of Eid Al-Adha.
The visit also included reviewing the availability and prices of vegetables and fruits at “Silal”,
and monitoring the movement of supply and the extent of price stability, in a manner that
supports supervisory efforts aimed at ensuring the availability of essential commodities and
protecting consumers from any practices that may affect market stability.
The Consumer Protection Authority affirms its continued field monitoring of markets and
seasonal service facilities, in coordination with the competent authorities, in a manner that
contributes to enhancing market stability, protecting consumers’ rights, and reinforcing
institutional integration during seasons witnessing increased demand.
