It is worth mentioning that several GCC, Arab and foreign poultry companies have submitted their offers to Cooperative Societies Union quoting prices nearly half of the current prices of locally produced eggs. Chairman of Cooperative Societies Union Mohammed Al-Mutairi says "the pouring of offers quoting much cheaper prices has forced the Poultry Companies Union to withdraw its decision." He added that both unions will hold a meeting after the public holidays and assured that cooperative union will not accept the price hike as local products are supposed to be cheaper than imported goods.
