TE24 Business Desk:

RIYADH – Illicit trade makes up 17-25 percent of the tobacco market in Saudi Arabia, posing a danger to public health and resulting in billions of lost revenue for the government, said a top chief at Philip Morris International.

“The unlawful tobacco exchange is a wellspring of subsidizing for coordinated wrongdoing organizations to finance illegal exercises, for example, drug dealing, tax evasion, and even fear based oppressor movement in certain areas,” Philippe Van Gils, the provincial head of unlawful exchange counteraction for the Middle East at Philip Morris International, told Arab News.

“It’s a major issue. Billions are going into the pockets of illegal associations rather than the states where the last option could involve the cash for advancement and different purposes,” Van Gils said.

As far as general wellbeing, the circumstance isn’t any better. Illegal merchants frequently sell fake tobacco items that might have the logo of a notable brand however are phony items that “regard no kind of clean principles in assembling or delivery,” he said.

Van Gils said that move should be made to resolve this issue in three key regions: mindfulness, joint effort, and innovation.

He focused on the significance of building familiarity with the issue in the confidential area and among customers.

“I figure the confidential area should bring issues to light to states and customers in regards to the issue. By the day’s end, we are battling this issue to safeguard customers,” he said.

Van Gils likewise said that joint effort is critical because of the greatness of the issue, “nobody can fix this issue alone; it requires a public-private organization,” he said.

He further said that the private sector could address this issue using technology and better controls on their supply chain operations.

“It’s about knowing your customers, monitoring the volume of products you sell to ensure it responds to legitimate demand and leveraging technology to track your product down the supply chain,” he said.

On the government side, Van Gils said it’s about “putting effective regulations in place and ensuring enforcement of those regulations.”

However, he admitted one of the challenges is helping authorities identify illicit products from genuine ones.

He said Philip Morris International held a few instructional courses this year, including for the Saudi Authority for Intellectual Property, to control the hazard.

Van Gils said that the COVID-19 pandemic sped up illegal exchange on the dull web.

“Because of the pandemic, everything went more advanced, and illegal merchants profited from that,” he said.

He said the arrangement is to diminish illegal tobacco while advancing better other options, explicitly warmed tobacco items like e-cigarettes.

“That’s what our position is in the event that you don’t smoke, don’t begin. Yet, in the event that you can’t stop, change to better options that are currently accessible thanks to mechanical progressions,” added Van Gils.
