The Ministry of Commerce and Industry has announced the launch of a new service to separate supply cards from fodder disbursement cards through the supply services platform available on its website.

This initiative comes as part of the Ministry’s efforts to develop its electronic services and procedures, as well as facilitate the services provided to citizens. The Ministry has hence separated the ration supply service for citizens, and that of disbursing fodder to carriers of a certificate of livestock possession, issued by the Ministry of Municipality and Environment, given their different purposes and disbursement sites.

The new service allows citizens to issue a fodder card, without affecting the rations available in the supply card, the Ministry indicated.

The Ministry clarified the mechanism to benefit from the new service; citizens can apply by submitting the request form via the Ministry’s website, or by visiting the offices of the Department of Supply and Strategic Inventory, located in Lusail, Al Khor, Al Shamal, Al Shahaniya, Umm Salal, and the Industrial Area.

As per the Ministry, it is also possible to apply to obtain a Fodder Disbursement Card by attaching a certificate of livestock possession, issued by the Livestock Department at the Ministry of Municipality and

Environment.

It should be noted that the Ministry of Commerce and Industry has recently announced that new services have been added to the electronic supply services program. The new package of e-services includes the distributor supply program, Smart Card Reader System application, distributor license renewal and distributor information update.

This step comes as a continuation of the services previously launched, bringing the total number of electronic supply services provided by the Ministry to about 24.
