Planes arrive in T&T to collect food supplies for Venezuela
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC) – Two Venezuelan aircraft landed at the Piarco International Airport early Thursday to collect food and other supplies needed in the South American country
This follows an agreement signed between Trinidad and Tobago and Venezuela to supply manufactured goods through the establishment of a US$50-million revolving fund.
Food and basic household items valued at TT$29.6 million (One TT dollar =US$0.16 cents) will be transported from the twin island republic to Venezuela as of Thursday and over the next few days.
Items to be exported include ketchup, mayonnaise, flour, white rice, margarine, chicken, and powdered milk
The delivery of the products follows a meeting earlier this week between officials of the Ministry of Trade and Venezuelan Trade officials.
At that meeting the officials finalised terms to begin a first tranche of supply.
