He added that “discount offers have now been launched in the cooperative’s branches and through the online store,” noting that “three options of (Ramadan baskets) were offered at prices starting from 99 dirhams and up to 399 dirhams, with discount rates exceeding approximately 50%.” He explained that these baskets include a variety of basic food commodities, including: rice, sugar, flour, oils, and juices, with the possibility of obtaining them through branches, or via online shopping.

Al-Junaid said, “The cooperative has begun coordination with a number of charitable institutions and bodies in the country to distribute (Ramadan food) to beneficiary families in the form of various food baskets, coinciding with the advent of the holy month. The month of Ramadan will also witness the organization of the Ramadan market in the Rahmaniyah Commercial Center throughout the month, with the participation of more than 100 local projects, as the cooperative has provided the opportunity for national and resident entrepreneurs in the country to display their products, which contributes to supporting entrepreneurs and enhancing customer satisfaction.
