Let's hope Mendoza will stick to his words and the food producers in Venezuela will feel compelled to cooperate. Glad to see Jaua's remarks, it's always good to have someone to remind us of the HUGE responsibility of the private sector in food production and cost - something that so many caprilistas here on DU seem to forget. Thanks for the news, Catherina.
