Jordan's bakery association calls on gov’t to allow delivery services during Ramadan
Published 06 Apr,2021 via The Jordan Times AMMAN — With the holy month of Ramadan just around the corner, Bakery Owners Association President Abdul Ilah Hamawi called on the government to allow bakeries to provide delivery services during the curfew.
In a phone interview with The Jordan Times on Monday, Hamawi said: “During Ramadan, people usually like to buy bread and must-have Ramadan pastries and sweets a little before the time of Iftar [fast breaking meal], so they would be fresh and warm when people break their fast.”
Allowing bakeries to deliver after 6pm, would decrease bakery overcrowding, especially on Thursdays before the Friday lockdown and before the curfew starts on weekdays, he said.
