Shortage The Harina P.A.N In Venezuela "The birthmark of all Venezuelans" (+ Images)
Flour PAN, Venezuelan brand of precooked white cornmeal, is the product for preparing culinary dishes from Latin American countries and Venezuela, such as arepas, hallacas, hallaquitas and empanadas. "The birthmark of all Venezuelans" is the slogan of the product. But what does its acronym really mean? PAN? The acronym of the brand means: National Food Products, as it was named by Lorenzo Mendoza Fleury, president of the company with which he began to venture into the food business, thus publishing the digital portal Venezuela Curiosa. The product became popular to such an extent that when the patent was no longer exclusive of Productos Alimenticios Nacionales - then Alimentos Polar - and other companies manufactured pre-cooked corn flour, popularly the product was simply known as "PAN Flour" due to the phenomenon of brand.

Nowadays ironically, it is easier to find PAN flour anywhere in the world, Venezuelans have had to flee everywhere. In Venezuela there is no flour P.A.N, there is no water, there is no electricity, there is no medicine, there is only misery.
I had this post pending for some time. Anyone who has eaten arepa, or has seen a package of flour P.A.N will understand. Arepa is Venezuela, arepas are made with this product, and this became an icon of the country, to be present in all Venezuelan homes before the dictatorship.
Venezuela collapsed. It is impossible to have access to almost anything, including the emblematic flour P.A.N, people are dying to eat from garbage, children die of malnutrition or diseases already eradicated.
Since 1998, when Hugo Chavez came to power, his corrupt regime It has plunged Venezuela into misery, filled with deterioration, hunger and scarcity. People die because of lack of food and medicines. This is absolutely unacceptable in a country with as many natural resources as Venezuela. The dictatorship has ignored the problems for years, and has blamed others for hyperinflation, child mortality and violence. In Venezuela it is not possible to express an opinion or protest. That is why those who are outside have a duty to make people see the reality of what is happening in the country. The world must not remain indifferent to the humanitarian, political and economic crisis of our country.
