Nicaragua to Supply Meat
to Venezuela
Nicaragua is to begin
providing Venezuela with
500 tons of meat, as
well as agricultural
products, Nicaraguan
President Daniel Ortega
announced Friday.
Upon his arrival at the
Sixth Summit of the
Bolivarian Alternative
for the Americas (ALBA),
also comprised of
Bolivia, Cuba and
Venezuela, Ortega
reported all the
necessary paper work was
completed and signed.
The president described
this year of his
country's integration
into that group as
highly positive, and
specified that
Venezuelan cooperation
in oil supply will give
a boost to the
agricultural potential
of his Central American
nation, with thousands
of non-cultivated fields
as a result of
neo-liberalism.
He recalled that more of
the 45 percent of the
Nicaraguan population
still lives in rural
areas.
Thus, Ortega said
Venezuelan oil supplies,
thanks to ALBA
agreements, have saved
the Nicaraguan economy
from collapse. |
