AMMAN — Sales of food items have increased by 20 to 100 per cent around the Kingdom during the past two days, with consumers rushing to malls and shopping centres to stock up in preparation for expected snow, Foodstuff Traders Association President Khalil Haj Tawfiq said Sunday.

Haj Tawfiq noted that the demand on food items peaked on Friday and Saturday, which saw stability of prices, adding that the demand was less than what was recorded during similar conditions in previous years.

He also said that the Civil Service Consumer Corporation and the Military Consumer Corporation have received extra amounts of food items for emergency situations during the current weather conditions, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
