Minister of Agriculture Akram Chehayeb said on Monday that an agreement was reached to standardize the price of milk at 1,100 LBP, noting that the milk dossier is being closely examined as the food safety campaign continues.
Chehayeb’s statements were made during a joint press conference with Health Minister Wael Abou Faour and Economy Minister Alain Hakim.
“We had expected that the food dossier would entail consequences and this is exactly the case,” the Health Minister noted, saying “any blackmail attempt will prompt me to take strict measures in the food safety campaign”.
“Centre Jdita and Massabki have improved their conditions to meet the standards,” Abou Faour added.
