Popular Supply and Production Councils
The Popular Supply and Production Councils are monitoring bodies that operate within the State Food Distribution Network. Their function is to exercise social control over public management in food matters. These councils, made up of volunteer citizens, contribute to transparency in the provision of the service and to the fair, equitable and solidary distribution of food. The agencies were convened by the Ministry of Food Security and Sovereignty and the national government in the context of the food production and distribution crisis of 2015. The goal was to develop a transition mechanism towards standardization in food marketing.
