The Law for Agreed Prices-snip-
"Though the six articles approved so far do not include any concrete economic measures, they state that the potential legislation seeks to establish a policy of agreed prices, based on the principles of social peace, democracy, co-responsibility, social justice, citizen participation, social auditing, human rights and efficiency.
The bill is also aimed at stimulating good practices in production, distribution, and commercialization in the countrys food chain, as well as guaranteeing peoples access to goods and services and ensuring Venezuelas food sovereignty.
When finally approved, the proposed legislation will be applied across all sectors involved in food production, distribution and marketing, and will promote dialogue and agreements between the public and private sectors."

The problem? The only people agreeing to the prices set by the imposed ANC, are Chavistas. The rest of Venezuela lives in reality.
And the Bolivar devalued another 4,000,000% since Saturday. So this "law" cannot come into effect too soon!

The last large private enterprise is Empresas Polar. Maduro knows full well that if he nationalizes that concern, he will bankrupt it within a month and Chavismo will come to a screeching halt when nobody gets any food at any price.
Lorenzo Mendoza sells his products (Harina PAN) at a loss in Venezuela, because he can. Maduro can't, as he has proven time and again that everything Chavismo touches turns to shlt.
