The Federation of Industrial Associations (FAI) said that it was a positive step on the part of the government to decide to draw up a plan to tackle the food crisis, the electricity crisis and the high cost of fuel products. According to an FAI press release, the position taken by minister Temistocles Montas is positive, especially his call for fiscal prudence in the coming months. The FAI called on the government to take a good look at four proposals made by economist Pavel Isa Contreras in response to the food crisis facing the nation. Isa Contreras, who works for the United Nations World Food Program, is proposing programs to encourage breastfeeding, school lunches as well as school breakfasts, an expansion of the farmers' markets and an increase in funding for the government's 'Food Comes First' program. The FAI is composed of medium and small-scale industrial groups.
