Other challenges include the high prices of vegetables and fruits in the exporting countries, the high shipping prices, and the need for periodic and continuous examination of workers, which necessitated the development of a plan to ensure the provision of products while maintaining prices, especially as concern prompted many members of society to store large quantities of goods in their homes. .
