Large amounts of the subsidised food items are provided to meet the requirements of citizens during Ramadan based on quotas issued directly to citizens through the two distribution centres at Al Muroor and Musaffah during the official working hours. Commenting on the move, the Director of Customer Service, Municipality of Abu Dhabi City, Mohammed Ali Al Murar said: “The Municipality is seeking to diversify the items offered at the two distribution centres during Ramadan and deliver services matching to the spirit of the holy month through providing new commodities such as dates and vegetable oil. It has also set specific criteria for the distribution of these foodstuffs in quotas proportional to the number of family members.” Foodstuffs distribution centres affiliated to the Municipality of Abu Dhabi City are privileged by a special and constant support from the UAE wise leadership as they have a strategic dimension in offering subsidised food items to Emiratis at special standards, specifications and prices that involve no profit margin vis- -vis the market prices. Among the features of the new system is that it directly clarifies the stock of foodstuffs, and shows buyer details together with allocated quotas. It also enables the buyer to book the required foodstuffs, pay the respective amount at any of the customer service centers spread all over Abu Dhabi city, and receive the foodstuffs from either Al Muroor or Musaffah Distribution Centre.
