President Mohamed Muizzu accused private businesses of deliberately inflating prices of essential goods for political purposes, saying the government imported 20 essential fruits and vegetables through the State Trading Organization to protect citizens. Speaking in Vaavu Felidhoo during his atoll tour, he said staple items such as apples and oranges had fallen again after STO's intervention.
One outlet so far Only The Standard has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
Some people are deliberately organizing certain things to harm citizens for political purposes. We did not give that opportunity before, and we will not give it now

the government’s recent decision to import 20 essential fruits and vegetables through the State Trading Organization (STO) was taken to protect the people from artificial price manipulation.
