ND / 4 Sep 2018.- The meat, an item included in the list of the first 25 products whose prices were announced by the Government last week and then modified on Saturday, still does not appear in the butchers.

In a tour of the Journal 2001 by some butchers of Caracas, it was possible to verify the absence of the meat in the stained glass windows. Some traders point out that the shortage is due to the fact that the distributors have not reached an agreement with the government on the price, others say that they are the farmers who do not want to sell because a price has not been established according to the costs.



"We do not have meat, when the slaughterhouse says there is, we bring it in. If they do not want to regulate it, we can not do anything." Last week, they sent 2 cattle to Bs.S 90 per kilo, regulated The meat arrived on Thursday and Friday everything was sold, two cattle are not enough for the population in La Vega, they sold it to me at the right price and I sold it at the price set by the government," said the head of a butcher shop.

For the same sector of La Vega, in Comercial Ahorro 100%, there is no meat. Luis Briceño, owner, indicated that "the distributors do not have meat because the farmers do not want to sell yet, because they have not stipulated a price commensurate with the costs.

He added: "The slaughterhouses are giving a reasonable price and we have shops that do not get transport so it is impossible for us to have the merchandise." Here in La Vega we have always been willing to socialize with the Government, we have always wanted to have our refrigerators full of merchandise, but that escapes our hands by not being able to receive the product.The parish has always been in favor of complying with the laws, as long as we all win, the people and we the merchants. "

In a cold store in El Paraíso, and with the empty stained glass windows, the manager said: "There is no meat in the slaughterhouse, we have about 3 weeks without meat and without chicken until a new order, I hope it will arrive today, the despair is great. We know at what price it will arrive because they have not dispatched. "

By San Martín the product is also scarce. An employee of the Frigorífico Franco 2014 commented: "If they do not bring meat, how does one sell? They have not brought in 2 weeks." The distributors say they have not reached an agreement with the government because the price to which they regulated it is the price that they gave to business and no one goes to work to lose, cheese and charcuterie has been able to work with 30%, but not meat. "

In another butcher shop an employee stressed: "The issue is costs, they do not want to kill livestock because they do not pay for the costs of vaccines, animals, transportation, as far as I understand they did not reach an agreement with the costs since they kill the animal, they bring and they arrive here ".

And he added: "We have to take out the costs of cleaning it, removing the fat, cutting it, bags, salaries, rent, and do not pay the costs with that regulated price." Before the regulation, the farmers were putting it in BsF 10 million and the Government put it in BsF 9 ".

Maybe because the "agreed prices" were only agreed to by Maduro?

In Maduro's Fantasy World (ChavismoLand) things costs what Maduro says they should cost, not the cost of bringing "things" to the market.
