With the objective of guaranteeing affordable basic products in communities, the Ministry of Popular Power for Food inaugurated this Monday a vast type I of Food Market S.A (MERCAL) and Venezuelan Food Production and Distribution (PDVAL) in the state of Falcón.

The Abasto Type I PDVal Punta Cardón, located in the Cardón de Maraven community (Carirubana municipality), was delivered completely new and equipped. The governor of Falcón, Víctor Clark, said that the start-up of this establishment directly benefits more than 2,600 families from the point and circle, who will now be able to purchase essential items at solidarity prices, local press reported.

The regional president stressed that the work contemplated a total adaptation of spaces, including administrative and warehouse areas, optimized for efficient food management.

In the same way, the sales and marketing rooms have been designed to prioritize the exhibition of products made in Venezuela, thus boosting the national productive engine.

“We have carried out comprehensive transformation work to provide decent spaces. Our goal is to deliver three establishments of this type during the month of May,” he concluded.
