Via a press release published on the official Facebook page of the Consumer Protection Association, APOCE explained the reason for the disruption in the distribution of subsidized milk. According to the revelations of the association, this disturbance is due to the change of the distribution map of this product.
Indeed, many regions have experienced shortages of subsidized milk. While other regions recorded a surplus. Through the same press release, APOCE expressed its satisfaction with the application of the anti-speculation law. APOCE considers that the measures taken in the context of the application of this law have borne fruit. Moreover, all subsidized products have returned to store shelves.
Regarding the disturbances in the market, the association responsible for the protection of Algerian consumers has proposed a solution to this problem. In particular, by transferring the surplus to regions that have experienced shortages. APOCE indicated that this operation was started since the beginning of this week. However, the fluctuations continue until now.
In this sense, APOCE has called for the application of this new method to be suspended until it is precisely regulated by dairies, distributors and traders. This is so that all citizens can buy the product in question.
