About: PDVAL

Producción y Distribución Venezolana de Alimentos (PDVAL), is a nationwide food supply network created by venezuelan president Hugo Chávez and Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) in response to the high food demand and presumed stockpiling by private food sectors, creating food shortage. PDVAL's goal is to distribute basic goods such as meat, milk, chicken and other goods which prices are regulated by the government.
