00:00In his speech, President Maduro underscored the increase in national production and self-sufficiency in supply.

00:07This is reflected in the communal markets.

00:10Our special correspondent Juno Sonner reports from the Quintana Roo market in Caracas. Let's listen.

00:17In his speech, President Maduro gave a balance with concrete figures regarding agriculture and national production.

00:23I can give you a piece of information that is provided to me by the businessmen of the markets and suppliers of the country.

00:35Eighty-five percent of the products that are being obtained in the supermarkets are made in Venezuela

00:40and all supermarkets' demands are satisfied with products made in Venezuela in high quality.

00:45Milagro Salazar works six days a week from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Quinto Crespo market.

00:56She is a vendor, the last stop before the products reach the citizens.

01:00There are goods, there is national production, because all the products you see here are produced here.

01:07Tomato, onion, strawberry, peach, all of that is produced here, here in Venezuela.

01:14Eliana Perdomo always comes to this market and today she bought vegetables to make a soup for her child.

01:20She is happy with the offer.

01:22Well, here in the Quinto Crespo market you get too much variety in fruits, vegetables, bugs, green grocers, everything.

01:29The quality is really good and it is better for the Venezuelan pocket to come here to buy.

01:34Important changes occur in the offer in the markets.

01:37Manuel works in the delicatessen.

01:39Before, certain brands had a monopoly, now there are several different ones to choose from.

01:45We have several types of hams and people really take away that they are intermediate,

01:49that they are neither very expensive nor very cheap.

01:51It is quality for the customer, you know what I mean.

01:54Paola Leon traveled to many countries.

01:56She says that the prices in this market are the best.

01:59In choosing, she is traditional.

02:01She trusts Manuel and his companions.

02:04I trust in these people who attend us.

02:07They are the ones who suggest this is better, this is better.

02:11But truly, everything is of excellent quality and they always tell you to try and you leave calmly.

02:17And all products are national.

02:20Milagro Salazar shows where they come from and describes how she feels.

02:25I am 100% proud to be Venezuelan because we are contributing to our country

02:31and that is a positive thing because we do not necessarily need to sell imported products in order to survive.

02:37We are projecting, injecting something into our country.

02:43In the communal market of Quinto Crespo, they think about the child's soup, the product, the price and income.

02:50But deep down, Venezuelans feel the optimism of national production.

02:55Yunus Soner, Telesur, Caracas, Venezuela.
