SWCorp CEO Khalid Mohamed said the target reflects growing public awareness and builds on last year’s campaign, which saved over 70,000 kg of food from being discarded. “With increased engagement from the public and traders, we expect to save between 80,000 and 100,000 kg this year,” he told reporters at the launch of the Appreciate Food, Avoid Waste Campaign at the Arau Ramadan Bazaar.
