WestVirginiaRebel Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Fox News: CARACAS, VENEZUELA – In an effort to contain the increasing scarcity of food and medicine, the government of Venezuela is moving forward with an initiative launched a couple of months ago that many at first took as a joke: the Great Mission of Sovereign Supply, headed by Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino. Over the weekend, Gen. Padrino announced the appointment of 18 military generals and admirals to oversee the production, distribution and commercialization of 18 categories of food and items considered basic staples for Venezuela’s economy. The categories to be supervised are rice, food oil, sugar, coffee, beans, corn, corn wheat, dairy, butter, wheat, soy, cattle, fish products, porcine, poultry, toilet paper and diapers, personal hygiene products and medicines. Maduro created the government initiative in June to boost food production and guarantee the smooth distribution of food supplies in the face of what he called economic sabotage by his opponents. At least five people have been killed in clashes with security forces sparked by food riots. ________ The grocery czar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
