[snoop1130]

 

The cabinet has allocated 1.48 billion baht, from the Central Fund, to support the Commerce Ministry’s project to maintain retail necessities at low prices for 90 days amid the current surges in prices in goods especially food ingredients, according to Government spokesman Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana.

 

The 3,000 retail outlets include convenience stores, gas stations, markets and public spaces across the country. Also, at least 50 mobile units will join the program by selling the goods in communities.

 

The Commerce Ministry will also launch sale promotional activities and procure necessary consumer items from wholesalers, retailers and producers for sale at distribution points.
