Abu Dhabi: Over 10,000 essential grocery items will be offered at discounts of up to 65 per cent at
supermarkets during Ramadan, potentially saving UAE shoppers an estimated Dh35 million,
according to the UAE Ministry of Economy.

In a press briefing on Tuesday, the ministry said that to ease the financial burdens on UAE shoppers,
the ministry has collaborated with major retailers to launch extensive Ramadan discounts on
thousands of products.

Additionally, authorities have ensured that daily fresh produce imports remain stable, with at least
15,000 tons of fruits and vegetables arriving at Dubai’s central market in Al Aweer and 6,000
tons imported daily by Abu Dhabi traders. “These measures are designed to prevent supply
shortages and maintain competitive pricing across the country,” the ministry said.
