The strategic stockpile of food supplies in the country is at the normal level and there is no food stock drop whatsoever, a senior commerce official reassured here on Thursday.

The Ministry of Commerce and Industry has a relentless approach purposed to boost necessary financial resources for "fortifying strategic food stockpile", Assistant Undersecretary of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry for Control and Consumers' Protection Abdullah Al-Enezi told KUNA.

"The ministry is doing its utmost to keep its food level at its safe limits and to hedge it from any negative impacts," Al-Enezi said.

The ministry and Kuwait Flour Mills and Bakeries Company, which is a primary source for most of food industries and food distributors in Kuwait, are working together to make all food supplies available according to specific strategic goals, he said.

The ministry is also working with other food companies to regularly offer targeted food quantities in the country, the official pointed out.
