Conindustria affirms that 80 % of the manufacturing industry in Venezuela remains operational

The president of the Venezuelan Confederation of Industrialists (Conindustria), Tito López, indicated in an interview for Radio Fe y Alegría Noticias, that 80 % of the Venezuelan manufacturing industry is operational, after the earthquakes of June 24.

According to the union member, “the damages recorded so far do not compromise the supply, production or distribution of goods.”

López explained that “only 6 % of the companies reported moderate damage and another 14% presented slight damage, mainly in some plants in the food sector and in industries located in the Yaracuy state.” Regarding companies in the states of Carabobo, Aragua, Lara and others in the central region, including Miranda, he stressed that they maintain their operations following the corresponding security protocols.

He added that “the regional chambers and the different sectors are working together with the affected companies to complete the repairs in the coming days.” The exception is a vegetable oil processor located in the Veroes municipality, Yaracuy state, which temporarily suspended operations due to the damage suffered.

López has ruled out shortages of goods and products in the national market, since production and distribution continue normally.

Conindustria proposed the application of fiscal measures to support the recovery of the affected areas, such as “reviewing exemptions from VAT, Income Tax and some import taxes, especially for essential inputs.” Also, they ask you to avoid nervous buying of medications.
