Long Line of People to Buy Food - stock photo

San Cristobal, Venezuela - July 4, 2016: Many people gather in line around Baratta Supermarket block in San Cristobal, Venezuela, at 9:20 am on Monday July 4th 2016, in an attempt to buy basic food and hygene products at regulated prices. According to important local research firms, shortage of these basic products is about 75% at this moment and it is expected to worsens in the coming days and months until the end of the year. Food and hygene products have mostly regulated prices that are under the cost of production so producers market little quantities of each. But, the situation complicates even more because, through the market chain, many "business people" called bachaqueros buy thoses regulated items to sell them later in the black market at about 700% above orginial prices. Most working people cannot affort buying all those products in the black market so they have to star their days at 3:00 am making lines to be able to feed their families.
