Then, the SAC Chairman said it should make concerted efforts to meet domestic soap demands and to ensure import-substitute products. The products must be cheap when compared with the same products. And the quality of products must be higher when compared with the products at the same prices. Therefore, it should manage for the public to use quality products at low prices. He also stressed the need to maintain the quality of soaps produced at the factory and fulfil local needs up to some per cents.
