Ministry of Trade Clarifies Rumors About Replacing Food Card Items with Monthly Cash Payment

The Ministry of Trade denied today, Thursday, the circulating news suggesting a government proposal to replace food card items with a monthly cash amount of 100,000 dinars per individual. The ministry clarified in an official statement that these reports are unfounded and not based on any official decision or directive, emphasizing that such publications do not represent the stance of the government or the ministry. It confirmed the ongoing implementation of the food supply program and the provision of food items to citizens according to approved plans, within the government's commitment to support food security and supply essential goods. The ministry called on media outlets and social media platforms to exercise accuracy and professionalism in reporting news and to rely on official sources, avoiding the spread of unverified information that could cause public confusion and concern.
