The chicken shortage with its respective price increase seems to set a trend in Contramaestre, where the commercialization of the high demand product, sold by economic actors, shows a rather worrying picture.
The reality, very palpable in 11th Street of FranK País district, where the largest sales of regulated chicken are concentrated, particularly by MSMEs, puts on alert Resolution No. 225 of 2024 of the Ministry of Finance and Prices, which requires a serious and immediate review that favors the finances of Contramaestrian families.
The scenario in this market area shows a lack of control enabling illegality in the compliance of a legal norm that seeks to limit the price of a product highly demanded by the people.
Today it is hard to find chicken where it is usually thawed, waiting for consumers, since the supply is almost nil or non-existent, being found that it is traded in the darkest networks of the informal market, whose price continues to rise as more hands touch it in the chain of intermediaries and resellers.
This distortion, which favors the disappearance of the supply in this commercial area, so far suffers from the confrontation, without the phenomenon being a recurrent priority for the DIS Integral Supervision Corps, which should pronounce itself to detect violations and enforce the law.
According to journalistic observations, the daily control must be effective beyond a national exercise or a provincial visit; what is done must be reevaluated every day to be able to help the population.
Wondering where the large quantities of chicken that began to be lost from one day to the next have gone, must be a good practice to find it and enable its commercialization as stipulated by Resolution No. 225 of 2024 of the Ministry of Finance and Prices.
The task is a major one, because winning the battle of prices in Contramaestre is not a matter of magic. Solving the dilemma requires thinking as a people, to put a ceiling to the trend that has been killing the pockets of the less favored and fattening the pockets of legal and illegal traders for a long time.
The solution must be to cure a pathology such as the galloping inflation, which needs radical and integral therapies, but until that cure arrives, the most sensible thing to do must be to control the commercialization so as not to distort a legal disposition and so that people can breathe in the midst of the asphyxia caused by shortages and high prices.
