To date, 3,779 businesses have been inspected, leading to 419 prosecutions, 402 compliance notices, and the seizure of 4,816 substandard products.

 

Nationwide inspections and awareness campaigns will continue under the 2024–2025 Industrial Growth Plan to protect consumers, improve product quality, and ensure fair trade.
