Dozens of bottles of English sauce occupy several meters on a shelf in a supermarket in Caracas. Opposite, in the refrigerator, a couple of containers with diced pineapple already darkened. Next door, in the butcher shop, unlit lights and empty cameras, publishes BBC Mundo.
This image is repeated in several of the large stores visited this week in the cities of Caracas, Valencia and Puerto Ordaz.
Although in recent years in Venezuela the shortage in supermarkets has been a problem that also seasonally increases in the months of January, now well-supplied establishments are also half-empty.
"There are 1,000 bottles of soy sauce covering everything. Before they really managed to cover all the spaces, but now they do not even have so much product to cover, "says Luis González after leaving a supermarket in Valencia, an industrial city in the center-west of Venezuela.

If anyone needs some soy sauce or aluminum foil, I imagine that there are plenty of Venezuelans would would barter for a hot dog.
