The Consumer Protection Department in Al Jazer, Al Wusta Governorate, in cooperation with the Control Department at the Directorate General of Agricultural Wealth, Fisheries and Water Resources in the Governorate and Al Wusta Municipality in Al Jazer, conducted a joint inspection campaign targeting a number of commercial establishments in the Wilayat. The campaign aimed to monitor commercial activities and verify compliance with the requirements and laws regulating markets, within the framework of strengthening joint regulatory efforts and protecting consumers’ rights.
The campaign aimed to verify the availability of essential commodities and the stability of their prices, in addition to monitoring the extent of commercial establishments’ compliance with the applicable regulations and legislation, thereby enhancing market oversight, ensuring a safe commercial environment that safeguards consumers’ rights, and supporting market stability.
The campaign included field visits to a number of shops and commercial establishments, during which the products on display were inspected to ensure their conformity with the approved standard specifications. Compliance with the relevant health and technical requirements was also verified.
During the campaign, a number of pesticides that did not conform to the approved standard specifications were seized. The necessary legal measures were taken in respect thereof, and the seized items were dealt with in accordance with the applicable regulations to prevent their circulation in the markets and to preserve the health and safety of consumers.
The Consumer Protection Authority affirms its continued implementation of joint inspection campaigns and regulatory programmes in cooperation with the various relevant entities. Such efforts enhance the efficiency of market oversight, reinforce consumer protection principles, and contribute to achieving the objectives of Oman Vision 2040 related to improving quality of life, strengthening governance and regulatory systems, and supporting a competitive economy based on a safe and sustainable commercial environment.
