The deputy head of an Sweets Association in Damascus, Maher Nafisa, told “Hashtag” that the amount of sweets that Damascus consumed during Eid is estimated at about 30 tons.
Nafisa pointed out that consumption of luxury types amounts to about 10 tons of sweets, and about 20 tons of other types (first and popular).
Nafisa said that the percentage of sales for this year does not exceed 40% of the sales of previous years, describing this percentage as low.
A member of the Sweets Association, Muhammad al-Imam, added to the “hashtag” that the number of shops that produce luxury types of sweets does not exceed 5 to 6 establishments, and these market the majority of their products to neighboring countries in the form of gifts and gifts, where the price of a kilo of some types reaches about 80,000. pound.
“The demand for buying the first type of sweets is good during Eid, but it is not the same as in previous years, as a result of the decrease in purchasing power and the significant increase in the prices of basic materials compared to income,” al-Imam said.
