Sinmaz S on 17 Dec 14This article is about the price control on vegetables in Egypt. Apparently vegetable prices increased ver much recently in Egypt, therefore government has decided to put a price ceiling to these goods, to keep consumer expenses down. THe article talks about another time such a control has taken place, but it says those times (1970s)fruit and vegetables often disappeared from the marketplace into the black market so the government had to moce the price control on1980. The rationale behing this control is explaine as following in the article "The ministry said it would also work to lower prices by increasing the amounts of produce available in state-run cooperatives and ministry of agriculture outlets and by sending lorries to deliver fruit and vegetables to poorer neighborhoods."
