Venezuela Denies Shortage of
Food
CARACAS - Venezuelan Trade Minister Richard
Canan, denied on Friday an opposition media
campaign on an alleged decline of food and
its production.
"We tell people not to let alarmist media
manipulate them with false information.
There is no shortage or loss in food
production" said to the program "Despertó
Venezuela" (Venezuela woke up) from
Venezolana de Television.
The minister said there is enough coffee,
sugar, powder milk and other items
identified as deficient.
We have guaranteed the double of the sugar
demand while in the case of milk we have
enough to meet the next five months, he
stated.
According to Canan when these products are
missing the explanation is the speculating
mafia " so we have put in place plans for
monitoring and surveillance". In the last
week the government made 3,300 operations
during which 200 shops closed on
speculation, he said.
The measures are a result of the damages
caused by the emergency in the power sector,
scenario used by the media to report the
alleged deficit in food production, he
stated. people, shows a technical tie
between conservatives and the PVC, as the
margin of error is 2.5 percent.
