“Yaracuy will become a productive power after the articulation between the State and the private sector,” said the president of the National Assembly (AN), Jorge Rodríguez, during a meeting with the entity's producers and agro-industrialists, where he announced the approval of key laws and the allocation of fuel for the sector.

Rodríguez highlighted that cooperation with private companies has yielded positive results in the reactivation of corn plants, silos and coffee production. “We found a virtuous solution, a virtuous equation where we told the private sector: come and produce,” he said, contrasting the current production of cornmeal with that of previous monopolies. “There are more than 40 brands of cornmeal and people can choose; better prices and better quality,” he added.

In terms of energy, the parliamentarian reported that next Tuesday the AN will enact the new Electric Power Service Act, so that private individuals can generate and market electricity at fair rates. He also confirmed that the contract for the second electrical link between Cabudare and Yaritagua has already been signed, whose work will begin next week, allowing for a doubling of supply in the region.

To address the fuel deficit, Rodríguez announced the allocation of three weekly diesel guns for food distribution in the state. In the same way, he indicated that next Thursday the Parliament will approve the Law for the Promotion and Protection of Livestock Activity, with the objective of supporting meat producers and combating cattle breeding.

The head of the Legislature emphasized the importance of maintaining a direct dialogue with farm workers. “If you don't recognize the problems, there's no way to solve them,” he said, inviting producers to demand compliance with their commitments. “To govern is to always listen, to govern is to always attend to the people and solve their problems,” he concluded.
