Hashtag Zina Saqr
Industrialist Atef Tayfour announced a personal initiative through a post he wrote on his Facebook page, which was his willingness to secure vegetable oil at prices significantly lower than market prices, and less than the price offered by the government through “Syrian Trade“, which amounts to 7200 pounds per liter.
The vegetable oil had recently made the headlines of economic news in Syria, as the market witnessed a significant increase in the price of vegetable oil, until the price of the bottle (1 liter) exceeded ten thousand Syrian pounds.
Salem added: The Economic Committee agreed that Syrian Trade would import quantities of sunflower oil that would meet the needs of citizens throughout the year without interruption.
What is the offer offered by “Tayfur”?
The industrialist, Atef Tayfour, for his part, took a personal initiative in support – as he said – of the national industry, to sell the oil, specifying the price and the method of obtaining the material.
Tayfour said in a statement to “Hashtag”: “After the increase in its prices, and the controversy that took place regarding the oil, and for the sake of patriotism only, because oil is not my specialty; I searched on a wide and international scale, and found sources for importing oil within reasonable prices. Slightly cheaper than world prices. He pointed out that oil prices rose globally, but by a small percentage.
Tayfour explained, “I was able to obtain this offer, and then I presented it to the public so that it would be available to all factory owners to import the material.”
The Syrian industrialist explained the details of the offer he obtained by saying, “The offer is that the price of oil after its arrival at the port of Lattakia will reach 3900 Syrian pounds, and after calculating the cost of filling the package logically and giving the factory a profit margin from filling, packaging and operating a factory, and for the other procedures, it will not exceed The price is a maximum barrier of 6500 pounds.
Tayfour was surprised that none of the factory owners contacted him to obtain the material, considering that there is a vicious circle and doubts that none of them asked to obtain oil at this price. Or they get the material cheaper than this number from their sources, and therefore the cost of the package is supposed to be cheaper than it is now; So there is a huge profit margin.”
The industrialist explained, “There are 9 private factories in Syria, and we have state factories, and oil is a raw material for these factories and they have the right to import, and this denies the accusation of monopolizing the material for a number of importers. He indicated that he did not obtain an import license because he does not own an oil factory, Rather, his offer is intended for importers who want to import the material at a price, “I consider it low in relation to the prevailing prices.”
Tayfour concluded his speech to “Hashtag”, saying: “The matter no longer concerns me, and I have withdrawn from this issue.”
