Certainly, the localization of the groceries activity is one of the activities that the Ministry of Labor is seeking to fully achieve within 25 activities previously announced by the Ministry to limit it to citizens, including jobs in the tourism sector, malls jobs and other activities. The localization of groceries in particular may be aimed at curtailing commercial cover-up rather than creating real employment opportunities. Groceries are one of the activities in which commercial cover-ups are concentrated, so imposing their 100% Saudization will reveal the size of a trade-off. It is expected that if the decision is implemented, half of the groceries will be closed if not more than half, but in my opinion this is not effective, especially in the big cities. Groceries are distributed in a large and random manner in every street, corner and entrance, and if half of them are closed, no one will be affected. Requirements of the neighborhood or warm where it is located. Saudization or localization of groceries may be good for supporting a business or so-called family business. . Of course, large cities should be separated from small towns and villages. Activity may not be localized in small towns and villages because purchasing power is not as large and continuous around the clock as large cities, which should be recognized by the Ministry of Labor. Localization of groceries without resettling wholesale trade and distributors may be an obstacle to activity.It is enough to know what happened in the localization of the vegetable market, where distributors boycotted shops owned by Saudis and sided with the shops owned and operated by their compatriots, until they removed the Saudis from the market. It also remains to say that 100% targeted localization needs a full army of inspectors and monitors and this is not currently available to the Ministry of Labor, and therefore must participate with the Ministry of Commerce with its dedicated team to combat trade cover up, and the Ministry can take advantage of modern electronic applications to receive and initiate communications, which is partly easier The process of monitoring and ensuring the localization of the activity. In conclusion, the Ministry of Labor unfortunately has not settled any sector or activity currently only mobile sales, an experience in which the Saudis succeeded excellently, and the ministry must start from today to settle other sectors and activities as soon as possible, unemployment accumulates and the unemployed complain and suffer and wait for what the Ministry of Labor, and every delay It means more unemployment, more wasted time and more difficulty in solving the problem of unemployment that is accumulating and growing bigger by the day. * according to ** All published articles represent the opinion of their authors only.
