The Minister of the Popular Power of National Commerce (MPPCN), Luis Antonio Villegas, held a meeting with representatives of the Venezuelan Association of Edible Fats and Oils Manufacturers (ASOGRASAS), which marks the beginning of a working table and dialogue with the productive sectors.

The information was released by the MPPCN, on its website, in which it explains that this meeting is aimed at addressing the unjustified rise in prices in these essential areas for the national economy in compliance with the instructions of the President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, and the Executive Vice President of the Republic, Delcy Rodríguez.

In this regard, Villegas emphasized the importance of this space, which “is a call to collective awareness to untangle critical knots affecting both producers and consumers.”

“We are on the right track and what is conquered cannot be given up. The commitment of the National Government is to continue listening and working together with the private sector,” he said.

The meeting also served as a platform to strengthen the national industry. In this regard, the minister explained that thanks to the Iron Hand Plan, sales levels of domestic products have been increased.

“The quality levels of domestic products are unique in the world. We are determined to stand up to the criminal dollar. The actions implemented in the Economic Cabinet have allowed the creation of a new currency allocation model that seeks to balance the market,” he said.

For their part, the representatives of the Manufacturing Company Registry (REM), present at the meeting, ratified their commitment to reverse adverse situations affecting the industry.

“The price of raw materials is improving, and there is a good intention behind our actions. We are all paddling towards the same destination,” they said.

The Ministry of People's Power of National Commerce reaffirms its commitment to the country's economic development, promoting an environment of collaboration between the State and the productive sectors.
