THERE will be sufficient supply of goods if only people understood the need to buy according to their needs, Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin said.

This, he said, was especially true during festive seasons when consumers tend to buy more than they needed, which in the end, causes an imbalance between supply and demand of goods.
