BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 12. The supply of
vegetable oil in Iran has returned to normal following a temporary
shortage in the country’s markets, the statement of Iran’s media
says, Trend
reports.
Consumers are now able to purchase vegetable oil without
significant difficulty at retail outlets. While some stores may
still experience temporary shortages due to outstanding orders that
have yet to be delivered, these outlets are expected to resume full
sales shortly.
On January 10, Iran’s Minister of Agriculture, Gholamreza Nouri,
addressed the recent disruption in vegetable oil availability,
attributing the issue to the implementation of new pricing
measures. ‘This problem has now been resolved,’ Nouri stated,
adding that the market shortage is being swiftly addressed.
In the past week, sales of vegetable oil were restricted as a
result of price adjustments, with customers limited to purchasing a
single bottle per transaction.
Currently, the price of a 675-gram bottle of sunflower oil in
the Iranian market stands at 1.84 million rials (approximately
$1.84), while a 675-gram bottle of blended liquid oil is priced at
1.82 million rials (approximately $1.82).
