From Veneconomy:

“(27/07/2009 01:14:52 p.m.) Sugar is coming:
Two shipments with 12,500 and 20,000 tons of sugar will be arriving this week to join the shipment with 14,000 tons which is currently being processed at El Palmar in Aragua state. Also, the Minister of Food announced for the umpteenth time the Ezequiel Zamora Sugar Mill (CAEZ) will be soon inaugurated.”

Is anyone tracking this sugar to see if it becomes the actual sugar produced from this newly inaugurated mill? Guaranteed sugar production for another Kodak moment for the revolution? Kind of like buying the radioactive Belarus milk and repackaging it here as if it was actually being produced in Venezuela.

Alpha, thanks for the link. The general is a patsy and fall guy. Moral of the story: You do not prosecute or denounce people close(r) to the President. This is nothing new in the IVth, Vth and most elsewhere.

Certainly he was in a difficult situation of which I don’t know the details but it seems the general could have gone about it differently and obtained better results.

Hola Miguel,

Lately I had an great and exciting interview with politic prisoner General de Brigada (EJ), Delfín Gómez Parra.
And he is accused of an mismanagement of a dazzling amount “3.000.000.000.000 Bs.”
First I could not believe this amount and I ask this several times and every time it was confirmed. This all happened in the state of Barinas.
We do not have to search far where that money is!!
Read the interview in the Spanish or in the Dutch language.

You know, this is not the first time Venezuela imports sugar. It’s happened numerous times, but usually as either an exchange control arbitrage play or to bridge zafras. But Duquenal is right, unfortunately. Another example of the road to hell being paved with “good” intentions.

This happens because government cannot efficiently make the millions of choices every day that is the free market. It is impossible for government to make the right choice for every single person in their country and for every single business in their country.

Geron, Texan, who hopes Obama doesn’t get ideas.

The BCV’s last full year for sugar production statistics is 2006 : 58% of 1997. The January 2009 Boletín Mensual lists monthly production for sugar through May ‘07, and greatly increased production, but nothing after that for 2007. The March 2009 issue does not list monthly production for 2007 for any product, and does not list 2007 sugar production. I wonder what Carlos Machado Allison has to say on this.
I wonder if the early increased production statistics in 2007 were inaccurate.
