During the meeting, they discussed establishing a joint coordination mechanism with the Kuwait Poultry Producers Union to monitor the crisis and prevent its recurrence. Representatives from the poultry sector explained that the current decline in supply is seasonal, and occurs each year between the start of winter and the reopening of schools. During this period, farms replace older, non-productive hens with new ones, which require one to one and a half months to reach full production.

This leads to a temporary reduction in availability. Production is expected to return to normal levels by December 10, following the completion of the poultry renewal cycle. It was agreed to grant suppliers a grace period after this date for them to complete supply procedures. The Ministry of Commerce and Industry and UCCS urged companies to submit clear plans to prevent a recurrence of the problem next year, and the companies assured that they will coordinate replacement operations to avoid simultaneous disruptions, especially among large producers, to ensure stable supply levels and prevent market gaps. It was highlighted that the suppliers’ compliance will be monitored regularly to ensure the continuous flow of required quantities and prevent any new shortages in the markets.

Meanwhile, Faisal Al-Ansari emphasized that the ministry is taking proactive measures to maintain the stability of essential goods. He stated that ensuring the availability of table eggs in adequate quantities at reasonable prices is a top priority and affirmed that any actions threatening market stability or creating artificial shortages will not be tolerated. Al-Ansari noted that inspection teams monitor companies daily to ensure full compliance with pricing regulations. He stressed that the ministry is prepared to take immediate action against any entity that violates pricing decisions or disrupts the market.
