SELA food crisis meeting in Venezuela

Venezuela: The Latin American Economic System (SELA in Spanish) is expected to discuss in Venezuela this month the impact of the global food crisis on the region and the actions to mitigate it, SELA Permanent Secretary Jose Rivera confirmed on Thursday.

In remarks to Prensa Latina, Rivera said there is great expectation among the 27 member countries of the bloc for this issue, which will be discussed in the presence of international entities including the UN Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO).

There is a great interest because of the topicality and importance of the issue, he explained.

The agenda of the meeting, to be held on September 17-18 in Caracas, includes food security, the increasing prices of products and probable answers to these problems, according to Rivera.

SELA is worried about the current food trends in the planet and their influence on Latin America and the Caribbean.

High food costs are likely to further increase poverty and inflation, with nearly 10 million people likely to join the ranks of the poor in the region, SELA has warned.

Caracas, Prensa Latina
