Guerra: Venezuela could suffer food crisis in 2016

The deputy elected to the National Assembly, Guerra said that Venezuela is by the strong possibility that food shortages become acute in 2016 due to two factors. On the one hand, the decrease in production capacity of the domestic manufacturing industry and produces food processing and on the other, the significant drop in inventories.

Guerra explained that in relation to the drop in production, this is due to lack of raw materials and a system of price controls that have limited supply growth. "Many production lines have been closed because the plants do not have to produce key inputs, that is evident in the case of the poultry industry, where balanced meals are as low as they allow operation of farms, hence, the desabasteciendo chicken and eggs. "



He also emphasized that by not delivered currencies, they can not replenish inventories and this exacerbates the shortage. "While all this happens, the government looks paralyzed, initiatives to tackle the crisis and trapped in their own contradictions."

Raising war that ended in the National Assembly must seek an urgent solution to this potential problem with food.
