Himayatec calls for urgent market regulation in Algeria amid rising food prices

The Algerian consumer protection organization Himayatec is calling for urgent and proactive market regulation to combat rising food prices. The organization reports significant price hikes for essential goods, including poultry, eggs, fruits, and vegetables, which are placing heavy pressure on household purchasing power.

Himayatec argues that current government interventions are merely reactive and temporary. They are advocating for a shift toward a permanent regulatory framework that ensures market stability, transparency in distribution circuits, and a balance between product availability and price stability. The organization emphasizes that effective regulation should not hinder the market but rather organize it to protect consumers, particularly low-income families affected by the rising costs of staples like chicken and eggs.
