KUWAIT CITY, Aug 26: A number of Kuwaitis and expatriates bitterly complain about the shortage of vegetables especially coriander, parsley and dill in the local market over the past few days – a shortage caused by the very high temperature and humidity, reports Al-Seyassah daily.
In the midst of this the experts and farmers blame the Ministry of Commerce and Industry for putting a price tag on the produce of farmers – the price that does not cover the cost price especially during extreme weather conditions.
The residents feel the vegetable crisis makes one believe we are walking in the opposite direction because in terms of self-sufficiency the government depends on Saudi Arabia for some of its agriculture produce needs which is not enough for the local market
